Looks like Intel is preparing a faster Core i7 880 processor for Q2 2010, this quad-core chip is based on the 45nm Lynnfield core and will have a frequency of 3.06GHz. Obviously this again will be a quad-core processor with 8 threads. The Turbo mode should bring it towards 3.73 GHz. Being Lynnfield the processor would be tied to the 1156 socket and would come with a 95W TDP.
