Can we please not misinform people ?
In real-life scenarios ( obviously no-one with a Core i7 will have such a pity-full graphics card and monitor to game at 1024x768 / 1280x1024 NoAA NoAF and with the game set at medium to low details ).
In real-life scenarios, like 1680x1050 2xAA 4xAF Full Details ( a mainstream resolution and detail settings for today's PCs and gamers ) there's no difference between a Core i7 and a Core 2 Duo/Quad.

They're not overclocking disabled as you say.
Actually they overclock pretty well, even on air, even with the stock heatsink.
They do throttle when operating at 75C+... but you have to supply them with some crazy high Voltages and stock or even worse than stock cooling.
