Intel ships 4.4 Ghz Westmere dual-cores.

No, almost all do 3.3 and 3.4 ghz respectively.
So your comment is pure BS for people who don't use OCed PCs. And for the rest...did you try to OC a pair of X5698s, so we can judge if your post has any merit?

what are you talking about?

a 2500k turbos to 3.7ghz and a 2600k turbos to 3.8ghz stock.

so are you saying that most sandy bs cant go past 3.3ghz?

Im benching at 5.3ghz my friend,take a look around as most 2600k are all benching over 5.3ghz and some have hit the 56x multy as there limiter.

a sandybridge boosts to 3.8 on its own,there is no overclocking done at all
