Figured some people were looking into this CPU. Although the only difference between it and the 920 is 1x more multiplier?

1x multiplier wont make much difference imo.. its like the 920 EXTREME edition!!

unless it can oc better due to the 1 multi difference, i doubt this is more than just a marketing scheme to make a quick buck..

It will help a bit in not hitting the bclk limits of the board...

Figure alot of lower/middle of the road boards hit 220 blck max. 220x21 = 4620, so theoretically you could hit 4840 w/ the extra multi.

Worth $50 more? No. If you decide to buy from newegg (no MC around), its worth the extra $10 though.

I don't know why they were more than that to begin with. They're not much different from the 920 and the 920 has been $199 forever now.
