Anyone who hasn't been looking at the latest hardware news, may have missed this one...

Quote from: CNET.COM
"What the K-Series brings to these new CPUs is the ability to overclock the individual CPU cores and memory frequencies. This method allows for more granular control than the bus-overclocking method commonly used with older Intel CPUs, such as the previous overclocker's favorite, the Core i7 920. With bus clocking, you end up applying one change that affects all of your components. With unlocked core multipliers, you have far more control, and can build your system accordingly."

Check out the benchmarks: Intel Core i7-875K And Core i5-655K Battle Beyond 4 GHz


The K-Series launches with just two desktop CPUs,
$342 2.93GHz Core i7-875K (4 core / 8 thread)
$216 3.2GHz Core i5-655K. (2 core / 4 thread)



Any word on whether or not DS will offer these chips in the foreseeable future?

So now we can spend more time trying to get all 4 cores in harmony and stable?
