Who wants a 5.56GHz Quad-Core?

[Indybird]

Right here. (http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/09/18/yorkfield_breaks_seven_world_records/1)

This guy is amazing:
-Hit 5.56Ghz on a Intel Core 2 Quad
-Broke 7 World Records w/ said processor(3 live on stage)
-Fastest clock speed ever hit on an overclocked quad-core processor
-No voltage mods to the motherboard - 100% stock

I'd sure like to have that board and a nice compressor cooler.

Thats an amazing overclock and all but it isn't the fastest clock speed a cpu has hit. Im sure the 8ghz p4 isn't even the fastest, but it sure is faster than 5.56ghz.

That being said, it doesn't mean the quad won't run circles around it with its eyes closed. But just based on hz, the quad isn't the fastest. Unless you ask one of those crazy people who like to just add the clock speed of each core to make it seem faster. Just saw a craigslist add the other day for a 9.6Ghz quad core...lmao. Just think its funny that people think of it that way. Yes technically the whole chip is doing that speed, but I'd much rather look at it as 4 cores doing the speed than cumulative.

Sorry, I forgot to put "quad-core" in.

No problem, i dont mind. It is a sick processor and oc.

And if you count it that way I think it would be the highest. 22.3Ghz if you add it up like some people do( hope my math is right lmao just did that like not thinking at all sooo subject to mistakes).

Good find though. That is seriously cool. His 3dmark06 score would probably make me wet myself.

now THATS cooling. -160c. makes my intel chip look like a toaster oven :D

i want i want!!!!! now imagent browing the net on that sort of power!

[NightrainSrt4]

lmao. Thats funny. So much of that would be going to waste if you just browsed the internet. I don't even want to think of the electricity being used...Im sure he turned speedstep off or anything like that, so your going to be running all out almost no matter what you do lol (all out as in full 5.56ghz).

It would be an awesome rig to have. I wish I had the money to get a rig to do that. I'm sure companies are going to be sponsoring the hell out of him just so he can keep breaking records.

Ahhhh the life...I can see it now.:rolleyes:

If SuperPI had multi-core support i think that could hit 1million in about 6seconds or less.

Keep in mind freezing and sub-artic temperatures are dangerous and make parts brittle with the vibrations, temperature variations, and to touch. Not to mention bumping the case.

Real cooling is skill, whereas cheating is using freezing agents such as those guys. I saw someone on youtube using a freezing agent. Too costly anyway, not practical.

I saw this guy in action back in February of 2005 at TXGF in Dallas. They were doing some amazing things with the new ATI x850 512mb card (new technology at the time). No world records were broken that day.

I actually won the pimp-my-pc contest that day...they built me a prototype PC based on their new technology...was pretty sweet.

Says its on stock voltages. Allthough the chip is way more conductive at thoes temps because of the super conductor effect.
