Review of the Intel D 920 and 930's...Overclocked of course. I had high hopes for these 9xx CPU's, but it's not looking as good as I had hoped. But remember when comparing them on the graphs provided that they are being compared to the FX-60, a much much MUCH more spendy processor.
It's still weird for me to see that an Intel CPU overclocked (with stock cooling, mind you), still isn't doing what we would hope it would at around 4.0 GHZ!!!???
It is exiting, however, that with stock cooling you can take the 2.8 D920 and overclock it to around 3.9. Think of the potential with water cooling...Then you're getting a big bang for your buck, especially at the 920-930 pricing range.
