The definition of "stock" performance is getting muddier and muddier. Mobo with MCE on is essentially overclocking your cpu for you. I wonder if it is a matter of encouragement by Intel or this is just one of those things they do try to differentiate from other mobos.


I wonder why Intel didn't just set the TDP at 120W to have better "stock" specs instead. 95W is way too restrictive for this high clocked 8/16 cpu.
