Hello guys,
looking for a little info please . . . I'd like to know if Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme chips perform better clock-for-clock than a regular Intel® Core™ i7 chip? . . . I'm aware the more pricier Extreme chips have an unlocked CPU multiplier to make overclocking easier (similar to the AMD® Black-Edition right?) but I wondered if there was any other differences apart from that?
[Question]
Out of the two chips below . . . if the mutiplier wasn't altered and all other hardware was the same would the Extreme processor perform any faster? . . . I checked the offical Intel® webpages here and here and noticed that apart from the unlocked multiplier the Extreme chip has a 33% higher default QPI Speed? . . . would this be something that perhaps was so small that you would need a benchmark to "observe" it or does an increased QPI speed provide a noticable boost in performance over the vanilla Intel® Core™ i7? . . . I suspect not but it's always good to ask a question instead of making an assumption!
This is a "theoretical" question please so "theoretical" answers to this question would be great! . . . thanks in advance for any feedback that helps me answer the question above!

Who buys an Extreme Processor not to overclock!
