I just read that a team of overclockers were able to push the phenom 2 955 all the way to 7.1 ghz what i dont understand is why i don't hear the i7 doing better,it's built on better technology i would expect it to be able to be pushed that high but i don't hear anything about the i7 going past 5ghz even on extreme cooling solutions. Why is that? please no flame wars between fan boys i am just curious.
