If Kentsfield didn't impress you, we managed to get our hands on something that will. Dubbed Clovertown, Intel's new addition to it's Server CPU lineup will be marketed as a Xeon. Featurng 4 physical cores and based on the Core 2 architecture, you'd probably be thinking what differentiates this from (boring?) old Kentsfield. Well for starts, it utilises the LGA 771 socket rather than the well known LGA 775 socket, so you can't give it a home in your gaming rig. OK, we admit that that's not the most interesting feature, so we'll tell you - Whilst Kentsfield CPUs will run in more or less all Core 2 Duo supporting motherboards, you can couple two Clovertown processors and create an incredible octal-core monster!!
