Default x48 and q9450?

It's march in 3 days, and it seems not a single word has been herd about the x48 and q9450. They said last year q9450 would be released around end of december, then pushed to january, and now theres no word. Same goes for x48, but I can understand that since amd is not up to their level they don't need to release a x48 and push it to q1. It seems by this rate, it'll arrive around spring/summer.

Does anyone think it will arrive by summer? or even by the end of this year?

Yeah....true...(about the GTA 4 statement). If the Q9450 gets pushed back as much as GTA4 has, I'll be so pissed off I won't even know what to do with myself.

I was planning on only keeping my E2180 until the 45nm Quads came out, but after doing a bit of reading, particularly this thread http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/...tment-yet.html
has got me second guessing.

Idk he made a lot of good points...although isn't the Q9450 (supposedly) better clock for clock than the Q6600 anyways?

In any situation, your best bet is to wait until the Q9450 is released and go from there. If it doesn't perform very well, or isn't worth the extra $$$, get the Q6700, as it'll be around $250.
