I wonder if they cherry-picked the CPU. Look at the core voltage. I realize that it is a 32 nm part, but .95 volts?

They ran Cinebench on this machine and on an i7 975 desktop (same specs otherwise) during the launch event. The 980X kicked its predecessors ass! I don't think the voltage is variable, so I'm assuming this is the power efficiency Intel was touting?
