Frankly, the 45nm process CPU is really having more advantages in overclocking.
The previous model 65nm process CPU QX6X00 series, the 3.6G with 1.35 to 1.45V is almost shows the excellence of itself.
The new process, 45nm, brings an obvious improvement in performance.
I found that QX9x00 series(45nm) CPU is easy to reach 4G stably under 1.4V.

In fact, I didn’t make any temperature comparison between the heats out from the CPU cooler of 45nm & 65nm CPU.
But I felt that the heat air out from 45nm CPU is lower than 65nm CPU.
That is a big improvement on heat dissipation issue than C2D period.

For my personal opinion, QX9770 is a brand new processor with 400MHz FSB,
but the OC performance in FSB is a bit not as good as QX9650(with P35 & X38).
Maybe the reason is something about that P35/ X38 are start at FSB 266/333MHz.
I really hope that motherboard manufacturer will adjust the BIOS to let QX9770 to perform much better.
Anyway, I will make a more formal comparison when X48 is launched.
To see whether QX9770 can performs better.
