Regarding methodology (lapped IHS or non-lapped IHS), it is evident that the vast majority of people do NOT lap their processor. A set of tests like yours, which is so incredibly comprehensive, automatically gains a massive audience. Because this audience is so broad, it would make sense that the tests be conducted to reflect the majority of use: non-lapped IHS.
HES??? Are we going to get your i7 roundup with an unlapped CPU??? lol
