Fritz Chess 12 Benchmark

Was trying out Free Chess on my quad core Android Transformer the other day and at higher levels, it was super laggy to the point of being unplayable. Hmm, so Fritz says the 4670K@4.5 is 30x the P3@1GHz.

Persuasive purchase factor... or not?

Definitely persuasive enough to get others moving in the same direction...

What happens when Intel patches this loophole?

Can stay on the old bios. Or it will be force updated?

 

[sTiCkY]

Is it worth getting this? Over a phenom ii x4 965?

In a dilemma lol

Intel never say anything so far, and their major partner like Asrock and ECS already went head on and promote this feature already.

Asus is going to release Bios update very soon to allow for non Z overclock very soon.

Maybe intel wanted it to be that way all along? But cannot announce it?

Cause you see they sell more Intel cpu "K" version, which command a premium over the non "K" version, but its the same bloody chip same cost to them. Right????

While the manufacture earn less cause people buying H and B version of their motherboard.

Greedy intel end of day

Specs
ASRock > Z87E-ITX

First the summary...

Again, recommended as a must!

Use i7-4770k must go with Asrock Z87E-ITX
