Nice...
If one can find 55x or 56x multiplier processor, then he may cross 5.5 or even 5.6GHz.
it is -0.5 times inferior.
there is a minus before the 0.5 and not a dash.

that dosent make any sense be specific please.
Anyways it seems it is a bit powerfull.
LGA 1366 i have currently.
Nevermind alright time to move on to 990X then.
Lol revolt, no point getting a 990X now. This is coming from a 960+GTX 580 SLI user.
Wait for the 3930K.
The 2700k is more powerful than the 965.

i7 2600k vs i7 965 extreme
i7 2700k will be even more ahead. Its much more powerful than your cpu. But no need to change yours now cause it can still hold its own. Go for 22nm ivybridge-E cpu's or even haswell in future. Your platform is pretty good for two more years.

man! we have similar things then!!Except mine is only a 965.
3930k is only slightly better.
Thats an engineering sample.
Post your full specs mate, we must have closely matching setups. Your 965 must be a C0 revision and my 960 is a D0, which makes mine more OCable in the Base clock.

Yup, because SB-E has A LOT more bandwidth.

When SB-E is going to release ??
Next year. Most probably Q1 2012 (financial quarter).
Right now they released 2700k and 995x to keep the market filled.

D0 are good but it was designed mainly to fix some bugs.

Yes but D0 was also quite a bit more OCable. Instead of going off topic we should discuss further via PM.
