We certainly applaud Intel for finally embracing the overclocker
market outside of its $1,000 Extreme Edition CPUs (the only other
unlocked Intel CPU). We expect that the DIY crowd will embrace this
news with enthusiasm, since Intel's CPUs tend to be faster out of the
box than those from AMD of a similar price. It also puts a damper on
one of the features AMD could point to that enthusiasts still
appreciated. In our Talon review we found that though the overclocking
was effective and stable, it didn't surpass the performance of PCs
with older Intel CPUs overclocked via the old bus-clocking method.
Even if overclocking doesn't provide dramatic performance gains to the
boutique system builders, they, and their customers, will still
appreciate the improved simplicity and stability gained from being
able to manage the voltages, memory frequencies, and CPU clock speeds
independently.

You can still overclock the newer Intel chips by means of the
"old bus clocking" method and it will always give you better performance
than merely increasing the multiplier.
