Looks like 930's are winning, that will be the next round offered again!

I think from a buisness perspective then the 1090t is going to be a better choice as you are very unlikely to get a very bad overclocker. Much less margin for error with the i7's as it is a complete lottery.

I'd like to see what the Unlocked Intel i7 chips can do. Their name would imply that they're built for overclocking.

That's part of the usefulness though. If chips are always decent for OC, there's no reason to pre-test

The locked multi i7 and Thubans are the ones to pre-test, the BE Thuban and Extreme Intel chips all have unlocked multis, which makes them super-easy to clock up. It's finding the good clockers in the cheaper chips that is the hard work.

That's an awesome idea, it's like round 2 of binning, but for high performance

I think it's a bad idea. Overclocking and not knowing how far a chip can go is part of the fun
