Intel to launch two overclockable processors in June and July

Intel has always had Extreme edition processors with unlocked multipliers but so far nothing on the P55 (1156) platform so this is some pretty big news

Intel plans to launch two processors - Core i7-875K and Core i5-655K - that have unlocked multipliers and are targeting the gaming market, according to sources from motherboard makers.

The 32nm dual-core Core i5-655K will be launched in early June, while the 45nm quad-core Core i7-875K will be launched in late July, the sources noted.

The Digitimes post goes on to talk about falling prices of 775 processors and a little bit about the 6-core 980X and how more X58 boards are on the horizon.
