I really really hope this isn't something against the rules, but I didn't see any mention of this website...
http://siliconlottery.com/

For reference there's an entire huge thread over on overclock.net that even has discussion and feedback from the guy that runs the website.


EDIT: FYI, there were i5-4690K CPUs listed before, but they're all sold out currently. Also here's that giant overclock.net thread I spoke of:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1534875/guru3d-siliconlottery-com-5ghz-4790k-reviewed

The website owner's first post in the thead can be found here:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1534875/guru3d-siliconlottery-com-5ghz-4790k-reviewed/40#post_23383050

Note that the thread did eventually die, so discussion seems to have moved to this other thread:

For those afraid to click the link, here's a description from the site:

Quote:What is the silicon lottery?

When it comes to overclocking processors, every CPU is different. Imperfections during fabrication cause each CPU to have different limits in terms of clock speed. Some samples can only run near stock specifications, while others can go well beyond. We test processors beforehand, and list the ones that overclock better than average.

Each processor has passed an hour of the RealBench stress test at the suggested settings. To keep things simple, we only change two voltages during testing. Depending on your setup, you may need a little more or less voltage.

Moved to Delfino Plaza as it doesn't have anything to do with Dolphin.

Saw this a while back and was pretty interested but couldn't find any info on the site whether they'd ship overseas or not. It looks like they do though now. Will keep an eye on them for Skylake.
