On xtremesystems.com user "pccriminal” shows a few pictures of his success - unfortunately he hardly added any commentary. He achieved a CPU-Z validation with 5,015.48 MHz (185.75 x 27). The processor completed Super Pi within 8.672 seconds with about 4,800 MHz and in Cinebench it achieved a score of 21,818 with 4,600 MHz. The temperatures of the Intel Core i7 975XE unfortunately remain a secret.

Given the scarcity of details... for real?

lol. Yeah 5MHz? You mean 5000MHz or 5GHz. Also HT is disabled by the looks of it.

Even if it came stock at 5ghz, for $1000 it wouldn't be worth it. With HT disabled, I think a 4ghz i7 920 with HT enabled would blow it away.

Sorry, I meant 5GHz (or 5000MHz :P)

Regarding an HT-enabled 920 blowing this OCed 975XE... wouldn't the software have to be written to take advantage of HT first?

Yes it depends on software. But it'll be more impressive if HT was enabled.
