Overclocked power consumption 440W? WTF? I was considering to pair a 1055T with a Crosshair IV, but now I think I'm just going to go with an i7...

That avatar says it all.
j/k.These CPU's consume exactly the same as AMD's X4's at clockspeed. 3.2 Ghz X6 = 3.2 Ghz 955 X4 in power consumption.
It uses no more power than an i7 920...if that.
These CPU's are doing 4.3-4.4 Ghz stable on water so it's about equivalent in single thread to an i7 at 3.8 Ghz + two cores.

Perhaps you should price out complete systems for each and make your decision. They are all pretty close.

i7 930 ... and overclock it.
I have a 920 and got it to 3.95 with tweaking, and now run it at 3.667 for everyday use.
Of course, motherboard cost is a consideration. However, there are some cheaper X58 mobos out there. I got a MSI x58m for $140 on sale.
The 3-channel memory is the real expense right now.

dont bother with overclocking, beyond that intel intends on replacing the socket soon anyway

Perplexing bit of advice.
Also, I'm not that concerned about the future of the socket. My computer will continue to work.

One thing i dont understand....for a long time Intel have been banging on about how anything above 1.45v Vcore degrades the service life of the CPU - but with most reviews read, I have seen that most need in excess or 1.5v to get to 4Ghz or 4Ghz+, shouldnt the same thing apply to AMD 45nm Processors too???

AMD and Intel use different Elements for their Transistors/packages, AMD is still on SOI where Intel is on HKMG (Germanium).

Wait. I thought HKMG is just a new material used. Intel still uses SOI's, they just use SOI's with HKMG's.

I mistakenly said Germanium, it is Hafnium Intel is using
Pardon this file being so old but it does determine intels roadmap up to 2011.
this is from Intel directly

See and now I am not sure if I am just confused. On page 7 and 11 of that document you can clear see the HKMG seem to be embedded or mounted onto a silicon wafer. I always that that silicon wafer was the SOI and the gates used for the transistors up until now were some kind of poly-alloy. Intel just started using High K Metal Gates which was a better tech than transistors and that is what was replaced. That would mean it was still on a silicon wafer.
So I don't know if I have my terms wrong or am I just wrong about what was changed cause I know some of that is right.
Long story short if someone answers this, is
A. SOI just the manufacturing tech used to create the transistors AMD uses now and most processors have been using; And HKMG are just the new style of Transistors.
B. SOI is that wafer and Intel has complete changed how they build their wafers where silicon is no longer used in that process.
