With every game? No. In fact there isn't a cpu that can do that WITH overclocking either.

In theory yes. But exactly how much is unknown. It's widely believed that even with moderate overclocks cpus still last at least 5-10 years. By which time most people should have replaced it anyways. This is supported by the large number of users who have overclocked without any long term problems. Reports of faulty cpus with moderate voltage/clock rate increases are virtually unheard of. The people who kill their cpus quickly with overclocking are the people who use insane cooling systems (liquid nitrogen for example) to try and reach the highest clock rates possible for competitive reasons (usually at formal overclocking competitions). Moderate overclocking which is what most people do is perfectly safe. This type of overclocking is done to increase performance rather than for sport.

Alright then what is the best/fastest cpu for non-desktops? Is it the i7-4930mx?
