More Lame wins for Intel
We start with a CPU that still chews up about twice the power of its Hammer competitor to perform tasks. It will now sit on top of a socket practically designed to break. To significantly overclock it, you almost need a degree in cryogenics.
Could matters get worse?
Why, yes. Just in case there were any overclockers foolish enough to buy Prescotts left, Intel has decided it is time to implement a lock on FSB overclocking!
Go over 10%, and it crashes.
