^^ Intel's 32mn and 22nm also improved from stellar to incredible. It would be really scary for AMD and nVidia if Intel gave a damn about GPU lol. However, their decision to go from soldered IHS to using mediocre TIM as a profit-boosting routine, I was disappointed. I went from a 5Ghz SB i7 2600k to a 3770K that was hard to get past 4.4Ghz 24.7 stable on thermal virus testing. Decapping and shaving got me back to 4.8Ghz, but never 5ghz totally stable. A more mature stepping indeed got me back to 5Ghz, and then Devil's Canyon got another 5Ghz product for me that was a lot easier to achieve. I only do air cooling as a matter of principle, so it takes a lot of precision and trial and error.
