But yes I agree, its the whole package costs that effects that. Clearly its a powerful platform and the few who do get it will set the new standard for WR's in some benches.


We can always hope for a compatible bios with all core i7 chips.:) Even getting two CPU-s that can run the same speeds would be kind of difficult.. not to mention about ram timings and mhz

I think overclocking have already become to expensive, normal non-sponsored people can't keep up at all..Who the heck gets 10 boxes of HW shipping in your mailbox? and ln2 truck on standby..lol those top guys are insane.

I like the more "underdog" overclockers, who does great scores once in a while and does a really big effort getting their hardware and preparations.

Don't think it will happen with plain jane chips the performance would be killed. Chips need a high bandwidth low latency bus to talk to each other and the x58 platform has them... but they are already being utilized. The DP chips have an extra QPI bus just for intra-CPU communication IIRC
