"Up to" 5ghz.  It's not close out of the box.  You'd have to do some serious overclocking magic on this rock to get it close to 5ghz.  For a SSD, I couldn't believe how slowly windows loads.  It takes 2:30 to go from start button to welcome screen and that is just nonsense.  My 2.4ghz 7-year-old machine loads in :45.  The sound card is total garbage, so plan on upgrading that.  It claims to be VR ready... Don't believe it.  I have a OQ2 and it can't handle even 5fps.  The operating system came with so much bloatware that out of the box, it was utilizing 24% of the memory.  I had to uninstall so many unnecessary items, I can't even list them all.  Really disappointed.  I was so excited to have a 'gaming' PC that I could use with my VR... What a let down.
