Entry level Core i7 920 quite the clocker

[tofu]

Was looking at hordes and hordes of Core i7 reviews and found none that gave overclocking performance of the low end chips. With the 920 starting at under $300 this chip may be a real winner

I must say, I didn't notice that at first. But it does give an indication that the QPI frequency won't be a limiting factor to i7 overclocks.

Yeah I posted a thread about Bit-Tech's bash at OC'ing the 920. I was planning on getting the 920 anyway, but the fact it can hit 4GHz is pretty freakin' sweet! I'm waiting for reviews of Foxconn's Bloodrage now.
