Tom's Hardware reports that technically AMD did not hold the highest 3DMark05 score. Intel apparently had a 1,000 point higher one a week earlier albeit on non approved drivers. Intel has yet to show us anything significant in this overclocking arena with Core i7, other than the fact that it can overclock by 26% and produce a higher 3DMark score than AMD's 49% overclocked machine while relying on an AMD/ATI graphics card - which admittedly does speak to Core i7's greater performance per clock (PPC). But even so, I must now ask you, oh Intel employee, where's the 2.93 GHz Model 940 overclocked by 118% (one percentage point higher than AMD's overclock) at 6.387 GHz? Or better yet, where's the overclock to 6.51 GHz (a 122% overclock) showing your true dominance and superiority in x86 space?
