Who cares if 870 beats 920 when both are running in default speed?
They should overclock both CPU's to max and then compare, and overclock both CPU's to the same speed and compare clock for clock.
+1 Thats the only thing that matters for me.
The real competition comes when comparing a max stable clocked i7 920 vs 870.
I think the 920 is indeed the champion, atleast in the beginning.
