    i know that
    i'm trying to say microcode is for something that maybe CPUz doesnt recognise like core i7 975 or something like that maybe lol

    not saying its modded just a new edition of chip maybe
    it is odd that they hide the top part of the screen which got me thinking it might be a newer CPU than 965

    It says stepping 5 (my es is 4) and no rev details, it must be a newer 965 or something like that, no matter what it is but hell no not just a 1 out of ten boxed version there is out there right now.

    We'd all like one of these under our phase units. But how is it bad news that Intel has a (granted, cherry-picked) chip that can hit 5GHz on air? Intel isn't comprised of a bunch of dummies. I doubt they just hand over their best chips to FUGGER without examining what makes them so special.

    In other words, a rising tide lifts all ships. If one chip can do this, it stands to reason that Intel learns from experience and that's what revisions are for. Eventually, better and better rev chips will hit the retail channel as they always do. Good for you, good for me, good for Intel stockholders.

    I remember not too long ago people here were complaining how Intel discouraged overclocking. Now they embrace it and they are still taking heat. I think it's jealousy. I know because I am jealous that guys like FUGGER get all the good stuff - for free no less!

    Maybe overclocking should have divisions, like "got it for free" versus "paid my hard-earned money for it." Like the NBA versus NCAA hoops, pro versus amateur.

    Well now we know these Cherries exist we should stop waisting mone buying trays just to find a cherries. We should request that Intel bring out a cheerie edition. As i won't be buying $2000 CPU's any more now that i now the odds of a cherrie is a few out of 100,000

    M.Beier has moved to Ireland. Hes been examined here as we believe he contains the secrets to the universe... . We'll crack him soon.

    Since when has 5G i7 anything to do with Belgium

    FYI: our only active astronaut, Frank De Winne, will be head of the International Space Station for 6 months

    Not only jealous... (neah maybe a bit but i'm happy with my 4800 air too ) but i don't like it too give people the wrong impression here, like buy a intel 965 chip and it wil do 5ghz, or all next step will do 5ghz air, (with that amd 6ghz thingie in the back of my mind). just a selected chip who runs fast, if you want one, go ahead , search for that needle in a haystack you problaby wouldn't find.
    Selection there is and alway's be there , but selection by intel is just not representive.
