i still remember before phenom II release when AMD say the phenom II can overclock higher than 5GHz and many people don't believe them , now we say 7GHz that's great
Nope: Not @ 7 GHz yet but, according to K|NGP|N, it seems it is achievable with that CPU. Apparently, the dude didn't have time to "properly push the CPU to it's limits" so it is possible. Remember: that 7127 MHz score is fake.
It seems the dude is confusing P4's WR, which is over 8.1 GHz, with E8600 WR. Check my previous post: it has a pic with the current E8600 WR.
so to get that speed on air cooling we'd need 10nm processes on a 16 core Intel Processor running at 0.2v - so in about 10 years then... but not with silicon...
According to this, not that much really, which makes it even more impressive. Unless CPU-Z is reading the voltage wrong: i don't really know *Frown
Yeah I saw that and deleted my msg lol, sorry. I also found out that they did do the super pi... omg that's so fast *Eek!
here is a Decent OC Database, just wonder how legit the OCs are but seriously an AMD Athlon XP Barton Core OC to 3.5GHz!? The World Record Database jealous because i cant get mine to 2.4GHz and its a Mobility Athlon 2500+ (45w 133x14/266x7= 1867MHz oc to 200x11= 2200MHz=3200+)
Apparently, this speed has already been beaten ... by 7.6 MHz ... No CPU-Z validation yet but this was done while being filmed and the video IS available: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1565059 The full topic is here: new record -- 6930Mhz EDIT Look @ about 1:01:30 into the film: it shows a speed of 6930 MHz with 1.375 vCore (if CPU-Z is reading correctly).
Lets start a kitty fund for CD and see how high he can clock his 955 under Liquid He *Big Grin I donate $10 cad
