Overclocking: 875 = 7205 + X

Conclusion: Intel 7205 Nearly Identical To Intel 875

This makes the PAT technology, highly acclaimed by Intel for its fast memory transfer, seem questionable. In the measurements, we also threw in the Abit IC7-G with the Intel 875 chipset as an example, which performed even more poorly than the overclocked test board with the 7205 chipset.

Ultimately, we have this to say to all Granite Bay owners: it's not necessary for you to go out and buy a new board, since the old chipset supports all the features of the 875. If you need FSB 800, then simply increase the clock and use the appropriate CPU, including fast DDR 400 memory. In any case, the Northbridge remains cold, so that you don't even need a fan.
