Isn't the only difference between the i7 2600K and the i7 2600 an unlocked multiplier and beefier IGP on the K-model? Does this affect the score somehow? Or do they include overclocked samples when calculating the score?
Likely many/most of the 2600K submissions are overclocked hints the spread from 2600.
