Intel on Friday launched a pair of Core i5 and Core i7 desktop processors designed to ramp well past their official speeds. The dual-core, 3.2GHz i5-655K and the quad-core, 2.93GHz i7-875K both have their clock multipliers unlocked and are easy to scale upwards. They can invoke Turbo Boost to reach 3.46GHz and 3.6GHz respectively but can go to 3.8GHz and beyond through overclocking, especially when using more advanced cooling.
