    Also, the "uncore" (L3) powered by VTT to mess with and if you don't have the XE chip and have to raise the BCLK too much above 133Mhz to get your best oc, you could run into problems with QPI depending on the board (or so we hear). With XE, you can leave BCLK at 133Mhz and just raise the cpu multi for a maximal cpu oc. Guess that makes oc'ing the 920 and 940 more interesting, or at least requiring more skill.
