Give them time. Conroe will be incorporated soon enough.... but power consumption is a problem.

As you can see, the Core 2 Extreme X6800 consumes a bit more power compared to other members of the Core 2 Duo lineup, but not as much as we were expecting. However, when overclocked on an Intel 975X motherboard, we saw power consumption levels of over 300W at peak loads, so this chip can consume quite a lot of power when voltage levels are raised.

And that's just ONE of them...
