Take a look at the E7200 for example. They hit 3.8GHz pretty often, and just Rs.14000 here (still more than in USA). A 3.8GHz E7200 will perform better than any Phenom X2/X3 and in most cases X4's (when OCed) True, but more cache = more cost of production. And also, it gives diminishing returns after some point. Clock to clock, there is only about 1-2% overall performance advantage by 6MB Penryns over the 3MB ones. I'm sure he meant it's easy to OC a high multi CPU than a low multi CPU as you are most of the times only held back by the CPU (not RAM, not mobo). No need to play with much of the voltages either. And it's way easier on the NB.Overclocking is not stupid if you are not going to just show off. I'm running very cheap stuff in my PC, and it's quite fast.
