Intel Core i7-990X stealthily hits shelves, Origin PC overclocks one to a lap-melting 4.6GHz
These days it's less about the megahertz and more about the cores, but custom PC maker Origin
isn't leaving either benchmark untouched. It's taken the
as-yet-unannounced six-core, 3.46GHz Intel Core i7-990X processor and
pushed it up to 4.6GHz -- a full 200 hertz more than the company's
previous hotness, a 4.4GHZ Core i7-980X. The 990X is now available in the company's desktops as well as the EON-17 laptop -- which is honestly pushing the boundaries of lapablity. Think you can do better than that -- say, with a little LN2? You'll find the Core i7-990X at the likes of Mwave and Newegg for what we're sure is a perfectly reasonable $1,050 right now.
