> Of course, most folks won't consider the extra $75 worth paying for moderate gains at stock clock rates. But again, this is a limited-edition piece of hardware steeped in history.

I'm not sure what about it is "steeped in history." Other than the name, it's just a Coffee Lake i7 with a few barely-perceptible tweaks and a fancy box.

But, hey! Marketing gonna market, I guess.
