Sandy Bridge i7 & i5 Reviews

[RPGWiZaRD]

Wonder how far i5-2500K are gonna clock like in average, 2600K seems to max out 4.8~5.0GHz at somewhat reasonable voltages on air (HT enabled). The only point I see in upgrading to these is the overclock advantage. You seem to get 18 ~ 20% higher max clock vs old 45nm CPU series from overclocking which is like perhaps slightly higher perf gain than IPC gain itself even. ^^

But I think these results are actually quite good, even shows a noticable boost in PC games.
