Well perhaps it scales bad with voltage like my new E6750, does up to 3.36GHz on 1.35v bios value with 1.33v idle and 1.31v load after vdroop. To get 3.6GHz stable for example it needs even 1.40v load, to get to 3.75GHz it needs even 1.5v load. Honestly I had hoped for a lot higher clock when I found out it did even 3.36GHz Orthos stable on a 1.31v load but it turned out to not be as I had hoped for such as 3.9GHz at 1.5v or so, instead it did only 390MHz more with an almost 0.2v increase. Can the scaling get any worse than that?If I would go for the voltage/MHz sweetspot, 3.36GHz would be it for this CPU but meh I'm a performance enthusiast and 3.36GHz is too low clock for my liking so I just use 3.75GHz despite the quite a lot wasted power consumption for a relatively small clock increase.
