Core i7-870S Quad 2.67GHz Review

This i7 can be compared with the i7-870. The difference between the two is the fact that the S model is a low power version and has a thermal design power of 82W, which is 13W less than the standard power version. How's that possible? Well, every consequence has its cause and the S model is clocked at 20x the base clock of 133 MHz, the normal model at 22x 133 MHz! Both feature SpeedStep technology and so the 870 can for example also run @ 2.67 GHz.
