Then shouldn't the label be Storage or HDD? Why use a company name?

I thought that site (Benchmark Reviews) did a rather poor job of testing the Core i7 920. They compared the processors with a Xeon (X3350) instead of say a QX9650/QX9770 and the systems used 2 or 3GB of RAM and a GTX 260. Also, I sorta wished they used Vista 64-bit instead of 32-bit. So you have the new i7s with 3GB DDR3-1067 versus a Xeon overclocked to 3.2GHz with 2GB DD3-1500. Oh and they ran tests in DX9 instead of DX10 which they could have used (perhaps in an attempt to get the tests more CPU bound, I really don't know).
