Dude Intel is speed binning for overclocks, they speed bin but downwards. It is so obvious, and hell why not they have the head room and the arcitecture to allow for it. I would do it too, but anyone can get great overclocks when you speed bin backwards.
Its AMD's own fault too, Phenom walked out with TLB, and lets face lack luster design. Intel was caught off guard, suddenly their competitor that had been kicking up down all over stumbled and fell flat on its face. A door opened and Intel has taken to the stars. AMD let Intel run rampant with out a leash, and they have paid dearly for it.
