According to some sources, engineering samples of the Intel Core i7-3770K going is capable of doing an overclock of 2X the default clock reaching 7.06GHz on Dry Ice cooling. The applied voltage is 1.889 Volts, with a 63x multiplier and 112.11 MHz.
As this processor is more affordable than the Intel Sandy Bridge-E LGA2011, at 1/3 of it’s price at USD 350 range, there will be utmost interest in this new processor to pair it up with either the new Intel Z77 boards or the older boards.
