1066 is with a locked multiplier. It is not the fastest that an I7 can handle.

I disagree that a system could not be built to handle 25 wow windows looking forward. The SB EX will support 8 cores (16 threads) and 4 sockets (64 threads) with a memory limit in the terabytes.

I do however agree that such a system would be massively inefficient on the cost side.
