Overclocking Intel’s Core i7 920 Processor Reviewed

With the introduction of the new Intel Core i7 processor architecture, the company affectionately known as “Chipzilla” from Santa Clara has once again topped itself on the performance charts. Core i7 chips deliver significantly better performance per clock cycle, while at the same time being more power-efficient versus its predecessors. There’s no doubt that it’s a great chip, an insanely complex piece of circuitry which can churn through whatever you throw at it with relative ease. It is the chip you want in your system, assuming price is no barrier. However, in this economic environment, price is a major factor for most people out there, and lots of people out there are looking for a bargain, or at least, something to make the price tag more tolerable.
