Per the title, what processors would you like to see us focus on for our next round of testing?

By way of further explanation, this would be for us to test a batch of chips, and offer the good ones for sale.

Not sure what you mean by "Pre-Overclock"?

Anyway, I'd live to see some 980x action.

i would like to see some clocking comparing
1055
655k

that seems a fair comparison

I'd say i7 920/930. They're going to be the most popular chips there probably, and the variations between good chips and bad chips is exponential.

I agree. In 5 systems, I haven't struck a bad 920/930 system yet, but they do seem to exist.

930's are kind of what I was expecting to be the leader, but I figured the 875K might be a close 2nd.

How much will these "overclock guaranteed" chips be sold for? Let's say if you end up doing the i7-930.

Well, I did a little pilot about 3 weeks ago to test the waters. Honestly, it depends on a few factors I'm juggling right now (namely, a channel to move chips that don't pass muster). If I can play my cards right, I'm hoping to make it a fairly small premium - maybe $20. It will just depend on the quality of the chip, and how the market is going at the time.
