    Pretty much. Except without motherboard/cooler statements or requirements, it's IMPOSSIBLE to tell if it'll hit that speed in your setup. If you look further down the page, it says "Cruising Speed - 4.2GHz", and only guarantees it up to that.

    Not only that, but if you check the CPU-Z screenshot, they used 1.47V to get it to that speed (I'd wager 1.5V with vDroop). Hardly low voltage.

    £300 for something a £200 i7-950 will do with ease. Load of tripe.

    Not overclocked, but tested for overclocking ability. I assume they go through a tray of i7s and cherry-pick the best ones to sell them at a premium.
