nice find.
overclocked to within 77MHZ of the magic 3GHZ
a 700MHZ O/C is nothing to sneeze at

Edit: And Taisol means AIRCOOLED!

I question that article.

I can easily hit 8000 and I'm only at 2.36. I know 3dmark2001 is heavily dependent on the video but not that dependent

I've always looked at 3DMark as a video card benchmark more so than a CPU benchmark. I didn't expect a crazy 3DMark 2001 score if they are using a Radeon 8500. Now if they were able to get their hands on a GeForce 4 then that would be a different story.

I think a better gauge of CPU speed is Sandra, because it isolates the CPU.

As for the benchmarks...WOW! This thing is going to kick ass. I knew the die shrink would open up another round of kick ass overclocking! Can't wait to get a 2.2GHz Northwood and some PC1066 RDRAM!

 

[Bozo Galora]

this thing is making me nervous.
I'm feeling urges to descend into to the dark side of the force.

 

[GTaudiophile]

I'm getting one...the 2.0Ghz version at least, not the 2.2Ghz.

 

[Pabster]

Hate to burst the bubble, but comparing Sandra CPU scores isn't much of a comparison. That's a synthetic benchmark with about as much weight as a 3DMark2K1 score.

But if you insist, a 1.8GHz AthlonXP receives higher ALU/FPU results in the CPU bench than this (supposed) 2.66GHz Northwood.

Ill get the highest clocked Athlon which will probaly be at .13 micron as well when northwood and 533fsb comes out. Ill probaly pay a quarter of what you'll pay and get better scores. GF4 hmm I didnt know that existed yet. Low scores using a Radeon 8500 in 3d mark2001 hmm didnt anyone tell you that the Radeon 8500 is the most powerful GPU in the world. When better drivers come out that will translate into some serious performance.

 

[majewski9]

The 3Dmark2001 record is near 12000 and that score was made by an OC'ed Athlon 1900+!

 

[damocles]

I'm pretty dubious about this. It's also hard to get a comparison with Sandra Te, as most people use pro

 

[Bozo Galora]

I believe it implicitly.
running at 1.6 V here, the .13 Northwood is at the START of its life. The 1GHZ AXIA Athlon is an easy ~1.5.
The 1.4 is a not so easy ~1.6.
whats exciting here is a 700+ O/C with EVERYDAY HSF!!!!!!!!!!!
the Japanese always get the good stuff first, and are avid overclockers, in numbers much greater than over
here (proportionately)
the 2.923 O/C shown apparently was the MAX
they RAN the BM on the 2.2 O/C to 2.66 (see the Sandra info)
if you think these people just make this stuff up in photoshop, with nothing better to do, you are wrong.
whats interesting is that the Gigabyte mobo runs the Northwood with no special bios update. that board
is a month or so old. But it has voltage/FSB ratio adjustments.
the numbers are nice, but nothing stupendous, why cheat for these kind of bragging rights?

 

[damocles]

they RAN the BM on the 2.2 O/C to 2.66 (see the Sandra info)

What I don't get is the memory benchmark. If it was run at 2.66 then why is the FSB shown at 498MHz? Wouldn't that be ~4x 125MHz, which equates to 2.75Ghz?

The other thing that confuses me about the Sandra Mem bench is that the speeds on Sandra te are well below what my P4 1.7 Ghz gets when I run @ 17X125Mhz (2.125Ghz)

edit- dug out my Sandra te scores

Mem ALU 1914
Mem FPU 1942

 

[Bluga]

comparing Sandra CPU scores isn't much of a comparison

 

[yourharddrive]

all i can say is WOW

 

[Bozo Galora]

Damocles:

Theres lots of things going on here.
First of all, notice the multiplier changes from 20 to 22 on the WCPUID's
These have to be UNLOCKED engineering samples
Notice the memory boxes on the right lower part of WCPUID - always 398 (400 Rambus)
The Gigabyte board allows you to set the FSB "ratios" asynchronously from memory
I see no 498 memory anywhere???
The 2.656 is 20 multiplier X 132.8 clock and FSB (for QDR - Quad Data Rate) is 4X that
The 2.923 is 22 multiplier X 132.8 clock and FSB (for QDR - Quad Data Rate) is 4X that
Normal clock on chip is 100, so they went + 33
Normal 2.2 chip is 22 X 100
Since I'm not familiar with P4 boards, I dont know if dividers kick in for PCI/AGP

You also have to be careful on Sandra, not only did they change the outputs to reflect SSE but they
also changed the "engine". At the very least they have made it very difficult to compare old Sandra with
latest, even if you go down to bottom of screen and change options to no SSE (icon at bottom with
spreadsheet and pencil)

Edit: I see the memory speeds now, looks like they were playing around with the values AFTER
the WCPUID screenshots-------- using WPCREDIT or CPUFSB software ....+66 (166)....+25 (125) aren't
even in the BIOS probably.
Guess I'll hafta go and D/L the Gigabyte manual to see whats normally available there.

Expect a lot of Northwood and i845 reviews come the next two weeks. It's going to be a lot of fun.

 

[MadRat]

*Laugh*

So they posted memory benchmarks of PC1066 RD-RAM. We already know the synthetic benchmarks are off the charts when it comes to PC1066! Too bad there are no real CPU-specific benchmarks on that webpage.

 

[damocles]

Argh

Too damned confusing, still if the O/C is an indication of things to come...

 

[Bozo Galora]

O.K. I got the manual, heres the BIOS settings:

Front Side Bus Clock (MHz)
When set to "By Hardware", the FSB clock frequency will be set to 100MHz. You may also
set FSB clock by BIOS. For power End-User use only.

By Hardware Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to By Hardware. (Default Value)

100.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 100.00.

103.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 103.00.

105.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 105.00.

108.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 108.00.

110.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 110.00.

112.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 112.00.

115.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 115.00.

118.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 118.00.

120.00 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 120.00.

133.33 Set Front Side Bus Clock (MHz) to 133.33.


CPU Frequency Ratio

8.0x, 10.0x~24.0x (Default Value: 8.0x)
RDRAM Bus Frequency

Auto Set RDRAM Bus Frequency automatically. (Default Value)

400MHz Set RDRAM Bus Frequency to 400MHz. (If the current RDRAM is supported)

300MHz Set RDRAM Bus Frequency to 300MHz. (If the current RDRAM is supported)

At the back they had benches for "regular" P4 2 Gig (crappy heh?)

The site is Chinese not Japanese. More specifically, it's probably a Taiwanese site.
