Intel plans to deliberately limit Sandy Bridge overclocking

[Iconyu]

LOL this thread is funny.

And Dr. Who, lets assume you can overclock SB.

It will lose hard against a SR-2 platform with 2 X5680's.

So your wrong... it wont destory everything out there.

And im willing to bet current westmere-ep's will be very close to it.

You do know who Dr Who is right? When he talks about Intel he uses the word 'we' and that not just because he's french.

Edit: Actually it might be hard to tell, because he's a little excitable, but I guess it's the first time he's been 'forced' to dampen a rumour that incorrect about this new architecture. He's easily as excited about this as he was when he explained to everyone that the 1366 i7's would overclock fine if was just different and that everyone would enjoy it.
