Since the L3426 is, I believe, under-clocked to get the power down, the turbo speed would just seem to me to be about the full high power speed plus the normal range of turbo boost over that.
QPI has been the major buzzword around Core i7. Now suddenly it's not needed anymore. Not on a single-CPU desktop system, not when the PCI-e root complex has become a part of the CPU, and the CPU can talk "DMI" (notably similar to PCI-e 1.1 x4) straight to the ICH (sorry, PCH). Besides having an on-CPU RAM controller, of course.

Now, forget about the QPI folks, okay?
