Origin PC offers Intel Core i7-980X Extreme CPU overclocked to 4.3GHz for its Powerful gaming desktops




The last 36 hours or so about Intel introducing its latest fastest desktop processor ever: the Core i7-980X Extreme Edition. Though some media outlets tested systems from Falcon Northwest and Maingear, neither of them has added the CPU to their online configurators. The honor of being first goes to relative newcomer Origin PC, which has already updated its site to provide the option for its Genesis gaming desktop. The upgrade will pack on another $895 to the price, but who’s satisfied with just the factory settings? For an additional $149, Origin will overclock the CPU to 4.3GHz from Intel’s 3.33GHz clock speed. You’ll still have to wait until the beginning of April to receive your system, but you’ll have a few weeks to salivate over what may be the fastest desktop commercially available. By that time, some Web tech site will have posted the new Genesis’ benchmarks, letting you know what exactly an overclocked i7-980X can do.
