Core i7 870 Tested

[ajaidev]

The power consumption graph is interesting. Even though the 870 is clocked higher it still consumed less power then the 920.

Ahhh the 955 @ 3.2Ghz eats less power than a i7 920 @ 2.66Ghz... i7 920 is different arc than the i7 870... also there were rumors that the i7 920 is going EOL after 870's arrival!!

Also does the higher stock speed and higher turbo mean bad for OCing??
