Anyway, i've read this on vr-zone that the 9.4 driver will be released along side the rv790. I wonder if there's any significance to it.

Crippled? The I7 is a modern CPU that is very popular. If the 920 was a 2 year old cpu than I would have agreed, but the I7 is modern and this architecture will be around for the next few years. Don't start about PhenomeII. It may be good/modest in games, but it's really not enough for people who do more than just games. And besides that, not every gamer overclocks. There are enough games who read this reviews, want a stable system, and don't overclock at all.
