Are leaking in to stock results

CPU speeds are somewhat variable with their self-overclocking and power saving features.
We allow a margin of about 10%. So if the CPU appears to be within 10% of stock it gets included in the base charts. Anything above 10% goes into the overclock chart. This is for all CPUs. Not just the 2600K.
If you have an example of this not happening let me know. -

i7 2600
Each have the same clock and turbo core

As you can see here
Can you explain why the results differ so much?
between the 2X00 and 2X00Ks
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?...0K+%40+3.40GHz
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?...00+%40+3.40GHz
These two should get similar results as they are the same CPU

Same CPUs @ stock should get same averaged resultsComment

My feeling that is people who have the cheaper i7 2600 are the non enthusiasts. They buy something off the shelf and make little attempt to optimize their systems.
The people buying the i7 2600K on the other hand are almost always the enthusiast type. As there is no other reason to buy this CPU compared to the i7 2600, another than to start tweaking your system. So i7 2600K owners probably also have better RAM, and motherboards as well (on average), and may have for example have a reduced amount of bloatware running on the machines.
But you are also probably also correct, almost all the i7 2600K would be overclocked and we are picking up the very lightly overclocked (e.g. 5% boost) in the standard table.
Update: A few people have been asking us about the i5 2500 and i5 2500K and it is the same situation as the i7 CPUs.
So we did a little study today and a few graphs.Comment
