Arent you, errhhh, exagerrating ? even if it crosses 3 ghz it woiuldnt be matching the X6800. Many reasons. 1. The processor design difference ( Not sure ) . 2 . The L2 cache difference.

Its not only about clockspeed. You know it

naa, not over exagerrating.

specifically

Using Gigabyte's GA-965P-DS3 motherboard, our engineering sample was able to run at 3.375GHz (375MHz x 9.0) at 1.468V using a stock Intel cooler. Although the E4300 still only has a 2MB L2 cache, when overclocked to over 3.3GHz you end up with a chip that's faster than Intel's Core 2 Extreme X6800 - at only $163. The E4300 gets even better in Q2 when its price will drop from $163 to $133, making it even more of a bargain.

notice two words, engineering sample (not final retail, retail products are better) and stock intel cooler. no fancy liquid cooled soln.
