well, in the HPC world, correctness is normally paramount,

They overclock themselves...
Turbo Boost, inspired by the famous car in Knightrider from Michael
Knight i bet :)
Provable for spec tests they overclock a tad more (200-400Mhz) than
when you test one at home...
...at home it just manages to overclock 1 core, not all 8 logical
cores, unlike at spec where of course it
gets cooled well enough to overclock at 8 logical cores the same
amount like at 1 core. Or maybe it wasn't
better cooling for the spec test, but simply a better chip?
Without turboboost i7 performs the same for my software like core2.
