Core i7-920 Quad 2.67GHz Review

Intel Core i7 is an Intel brand name for several families of desktop and laptop 64-bit x86-64 processors using the Nehalem microarchitecture that are marketed for the business and high-end consumer markets. The Core i7 brand is intended to differentiate these processors from Core i5 processors intended for the main-stream consumer market and Core i3 processors intended for the entry-level consumer market.
Core i7 is a successor to the Intel Core 2 brand. The Core i7 identifier was first applied to the initial family of processors codenamed Bloomfield introduced in 2008. In 2009 the name was applied to Lynnfield and Clarksfield models. Prior to 2010, all models were quad-core processors. In 2010, the name was applied to dual-core Arrandale models, and the Gulftown Core i7-980X Extreme processor which has six hyperthreaded cores.

@Dorksk8tr3

look dude i have a minor overclocked computer (AMD Phenom II x6 4,0Ghz, HD 6850 850Mhz GPU clock 4400Mhz Memory), and i didnt get much more fps in games that i played... i got a 2-5 fps increase in games and thats like nothing...

so no OC isnt so important for gaming...

you said you have 1 GPU not them in crossfire .. and you said your overclocked is minor not 50% (and that's not possible on phenom II x6 1055T , because you will need a great cooler for that)
so , edit your rig buddy :)

I think you should be able to add if your system is OC or not. I am sure there are many here that have an OC system. There are many processors that have a higher rating here because their process speed is higher. I imagine it would be complicated to have a score system with that many variables. Perhaps add a side selection that adds a point or two for OC. There are plenty of charts rating perfomance elsewhere that could be used to normalize and score for OC processors. It plays an important rule in decision making when figuring if a game or program will run.
