P4 OC'd to 8ghz

[SPARTAN-117]

Read this on Slashdot and was amazed that Intel's new 65nm chips could go that far.

Here's the link:

I think that this news is enough for me to wanna buy a C2D for my next upgrade .

This May only be able to match a Athlon FX-62(stock). Or a E6400(stock) at best.

:lol: Well I wish I could post my 8 Ghz P4!
No really I knew someone could do it, soon a 12Ghz overclock.

What is the point of a 8Ghz P4

 

[slim142]

A New world record

 

[skud]

im sure a stock e6300 still rapes that 8 ghz

 

[slim142]

Maybe an overclocked E6400 but not an E6300.

And we cant even prove it, Im almost sure that thing at 8ghz is not stable.

LOL no way. An 8GHz P4 would compete with a 4GHz Conroe (in single threaded tasks), in fact I suspect the P4 may actually beat it. Remember Netburst shines at higher clockspeeds, Prescott was originally meant to scale to 5GHz, and the 'Netburst Nehalem' was intended to scale to 10GHz! 8O

A 4Ghz conroe would kill it no matter what. I think even a 3Ghz conroe is too strong

 

[chuckshissle]

That's still sick.

 

[phamily]

thats insane, i'd love to see benchmarks ^^

 

[dasickninja]

...an OC'ed POS is still a POS.

Netburst is designed for raw clockspeeds at the expense of IPC, Core2 is designed for a balance between the two. It is fair to suspect that as the clockspeeds exceed 5GHz the P4 may scale more than a C2D would.

 

[tool_462]

wtf man.

 

[dasickninja]

Eh?

 

[runswindows95]

The fact it ran that high without frying anything is impressive! I wish they could post some benchmarks for it!

 

[slavetrader]

gj italy u almost made a conroe

gj italy u almost made a conroe

ok...


I'd like to see an 8ghz C2D, now that would be worth mention!

Anyone who is an enthusiast overclocker, will see the pride that must be felt in accomplishing this. That's a 5GHz O/C, and...yeah a Conroe...probably @3.5GHz will likely best it, but it's still a world record. The world record in the 1/4 mile is in the mid-low 4 second range, should someone who runs their car and gets 10 seconds(still quick) be scoffed at? I think not. Guys are bench-pressing 800-900lbs now, doesn't really mean that much, but hey...still impressive. See it for what it is....a group of CPU lovin' guys who pushed the envelope. Cool...no?
