Im sorry to say, well, sort off, since that post is weird.

Why wouldnt a C2/i7 be able to hit 8Ghz? I mean, I never would have thought P4 couldt hit 8Ghz, but it did. Of course I know the architecture of a P4 is different then C2/i7, but still. I didnt expect in all fairness that i7 would go straight up to 4Ghz without a lot of issues.

Also a CPU-Z validation is worth just as much as a confirmation from multiple sources and people, like Tony and saaya, who should be most of the time unbiased in their expression.

Comparing Tony's post with a religion while your CPU-Z claim tells me that you do not believe it... Although there's been multiple times someone either managed to 'hack' CPU-Z or simply CPU-Z its self made an error. It's a nice program and most of the time it's right, still it ain't anything more reliable than multiple unbiased sources admitting the whole happening.
