    Nice article StamatisX it will be interesting when these go head to head with their current counter parts. The original 920XM vs the 940XM when overclocked were nearly brothers in arms peaking around the same frequencies, but when not overclocked the 940XM bests the 920XM due to higher default clocks.

    HEY I HAVE A CLARIFICATION. IN THE ABOVE REVIEW YOU HAVE MENTIONED THAT THE — Core i7-2960XM has Integrated HD 3000 graphics controller. BUT IN THE INTEL WEBSITE, IN THE PROCESSOR COMPARISION PAGE, IT IS MENTIONED THAT the Core i7-2960XM does not have an integrated HD 3000 graphics. I AM REALLY CONFUSED. PLEASE CLARIFIY THIS.

      The Intel site clearly specifies that the 2960xm comes with the integrated HD3000 graphics, as all Sandy Bridge CPUs: http://ark.intel.com/products/53478
