Conroe does 4.6Ghz already!!

They have it up to 4.75 now. 4.66 is old news.

 

[d3lt4]

I figured it would be from XS.

 

[blackllotus]

11 second super pi!

 

[fern420]

ohh my god i cant wait any longer!!!! they got 3.5 on air!!! one quick question, this is still a 775 footprint correct? so the current 775 waterblocks and cooling options will fit?

yup!

its now 10 seconds.

10 Right Here

Oh my sweet gawd...

:Q

 

[Duvie]

I wonder what a 2.4ghz 4mb cache one will do with water cooling??? Hopefully that is what I am going to be using with mine....I would be doing flips if I can get 4ghz with the conroe's clock for clock AMd performance...

I wonder what the memory will cost me to do that kind of fsb....

EDIT: Ok, I misunderstood your original statement. Now that I understand it, I think that would be cool.

About the mem, I hope the prices go down, that's all I got to say.

I missed it, but I assume the clock for clock may be misleading...I meant to say how the Conroe is better clock for clock and I am sure with scaling may only get a bit worse for AMD...

Clearly going to be the best chip in the short run....

With overclocks like that, this may be the first time I haven't bought a Dell since my last build - a 486/33.

I just hope that this performance applies to everyday applications too. I mean, sure it's pretty cool to be able to a 10 second 1M SuperPi run, but I need to see performance this significant of an increase with games, video editing, and encoding to push me to buy one.

 

[Cooler]

dont try overclocking dell they lock the bios features out needed to oc.

 

[Xcobra]

wow, very nice, hmmm this makes me wonder if i should stay with amd but ill wait, very nice OC tho

He also ran 32M and 3DMarks, too. I just skimped through the thread and 32M was around 12mins and 3DMark01 score was around 65K with a single GTX. Indeed I was almost in shock for a few secs and couldn't find a word to express myself. Scary stuff indeed. This is a gigantic leap in the ASIC manufacturing and will probably the most significant event in CPU history since the birth of A64.

Like Anand implied quite a few times in his article, Intel will eventually have on-die memory controller and things will get even uglier. Imagine, even now, Intel cut the L2 cache of E6700 to half (still 2MB) and integrate the memory controller on die..

I'm guessing 2~3 secs 1M WR with SSE4 optimized SP and dual/quad-core Conroe.

 

[anandtechrocks]

He's also got like a ~28 second Super PI 2M time which is faster than my 1M time!!

 

[pctwo]

maybe it's time to buy INTC.

how long do you think til we see this reflected in stock prices?

YES. its not just you...

 

[StrangerGuy]

That's a Superi score 4.2x better than my Prescott 3GHz! OMG.

How about some real information on how this was accomplished.. and.. how about some air versus water overclocking results?

Also.. what is up with the front side bus.. how did these overclockers get it up so fast?

And.. is there any stability at any of these levels.. ie.. will it really work?

1) They hard mod the FSB. This is well beyond the level of enthusiasm for most AT'ers. XS is called xtreme for a reason, and they go to extreme levels to achieve high overclocks and pushing hardware to its limits.

2) No, its not for long term stability. But relatively speaking, it also gives you a good idea of ceilings for said CPU's. The highest Athlon FX-60's they got was also around the low 4Ghz's.

I've noticed that wallstreet is very behind the curve for these sorts oof things. It probably won't be realized that Intc is on the ascent until ~Q406/Q107 in my opinion. For the next quarter or two, intel will have to get rid of smithfield inventory at low prices and they won't have enough conroes to fill demand. It's estimated that 20% of their shipments by end of year will be conroe which means that msot will still be P-Ds. And they're not selling conroe for outrageous prices either.

Stock may get a bump when Conroe is released bue to good publicity.
