Core i7 870 Tested

+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.

You cant compare the 920 vs 870 in that way of reaching a max stable clocked. The 870 has a higher stock clock, obviously that it will reach a higher max stable clock

Also from the prints that i have been looking the P55 has better overclocking capability than X58. And it uses dual channel instead of trichannel wich makes more easy to overclock because it stresses less the NB
