Intel plans to deliberately limit Sandy Bridge overclocking

[Xanth]

We are talking about upcoming mainstream LGA1155 Sandy Bridge CPUs, not the high-end which comes later.

It is a natural move if Intel try yo to limit the OC of mainstream to prevent a direct competition with hight end. I guess that's the lesson Intel has learned from i7, when we all bought a sub $300 920 and OCed it to beat the $1000 975.

Exactly!
