Benchmarks: CPU
A Core i7 3930K at 4.5GHz demolishes the benchmarks set by any also-overclocked Core i5 2500K or Core i7 2600K. Understand that it's over 70 per cent faster than a machine equipped with a Core i5 2500K running at 4.8GHz. Suffice to say that these numbers will only be beaten by another PC powered by Intel's latest chips.
Phewee!
