anadtech made a benchmark
with

P4 2.0 0*C
p4 1.8
2x t-birdMP 1.2
t-bird 1.4
T-bird 1.86

So t-bird 1.86 have win.My point why not use a P4 1.8 and O*C to 2400 mghz that will be way more fair for intel.Still better use a P4 2.0 o*c to 2650 mghz.

Why not keep it fair or just dont put P4 in the test.

Nice try

Go on o*c site there many P4 over 2.2 and more 1.8 can take easy 2016.With good knowlege and .... can pass over 2400.2.0 can go even higher.

Ahem...according to <A HREF="http://www.overclockers.com/" target="_new">http://www.overclockers.com/</A> and <A HREF="http://www.overclockers.com.au/" target="_new">http://www.overclockers.com.au/</A>, the P4 1.7 gets an average overclock of about 2.05-2.1GHz. I believe Solstice has had similar experience with his 1.7GHz. The P4 1.8 isn't even listed, but I don't expect it to go much higher.

The P4 2.0 is barely even out yet, but <A HREF="http://www.hardocp.com" target="_new">HardOCP</A> has their hands on one and only took it to ~2.16GHz. Apparently it just wasn't stable at 2.3GHz.

The 3Dmark2K1 database has a lot of listings for 2.3GHz P4's etc, but my understanding is that they generally only manage to survive 3Dmark by disabling some tests. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't call that "reliable."

the P4 Northwood would be a better processor to overclock. With P4 still multiplier locked, its hard to push higher.

ja...you say the Northwood will have an unlocked multiplier? l33tness! :smile:

I supose that he meant that a .13 cpu will overclock better, not that it is unlocked (no news regarding changing this policy have so far surfaced - only engineering samples are unlocked).

yes, I did mean that 0.13 micron processors will overclock better.

they are smaller means less heat dissipation, lower power consumption, it means smaller distances on the die, lesser capacitive and inductive effects allowing higher speed operation, and that the Northwood will be coming in smaller socket 478 microPGA package that means finer and thinner wires to connect from the pins to the die which will allow better FSB overclocking.

A good rule of Thumb for stable air cooled P4 overclocks is around 20%. I don't think the limit is in the chip as much as the system as a whole. I have gotten my 1.7 over 2.1 but had stability issues it seems happiest at 17 x 122 =2074.

I would be amazed if a 2.0 couldn't hit 2.3 stable thats only a 20 x 115

Still better use a P4 2.0 o*c to 2650 mghz.
Where?
BTW, Anandtech has a new benchmark with P4 2.0G

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
