nt.number theory - What is the best known upper bound for the number of twin primes?

J Wu, Chen's double sieve, Goldbach's conjecture, and the twin prime problem, Acta Arith 114 (2004) 215-273, MR 2005e:11128, bounds the number of twin primes above by 2aCx/log2x, with C=prodp(p2)/(p1)2, and a=3.3996; I don't know whether there have been any improvements.
