As is the case for the stock, all benchmark results will be acquired from three(3) runs, removing the highest and lowest score, but not averaging the total score of the three. This limit the number of random peaks of scores, and hopes to reduce the number of random unusual results. There will be no online submission of score because of time constraint and software limitation.

The processor has proven itself as a good overclocker! The retail one should be much better since they are running on a more refined manufacturing process. The performance that can be had owning this CPU is just awesome, that even at stock settings, the price can very well justify the performance, and overclockability.
