Very impressive...Can't wait til the new E8xxx chips hit the shelves...

I have no interest in the overpriced DDR3 either...What a joke...

agreed.

e8xxx & ddr2 combo on a p35 all the way

wrap that up with a 8800gt and call it a sub $500 4.5ghz gaming monster.
 
Yeah, the current price for DDR3 is absolutely out of sense. If I'm not mistaken I think even DDR2 wasn't that expansive when it first came out. It was indeed expansive though, but not as much as DDR3 is right now, it's just insane.
 
damn that is fast, can't wait for the 45nm stuff to filter down to the sub 100 price point chips, should make for some very nice chips, will prolly entice me to finally upgade my 939 rig aswell.
 
That is blazing fast!!...:beer:


In any case though, :thumbsdown😀DR3:thumbsdown: is still not for me either and i STILL want a :thumbsup:Q9450:thumbsup:


😛
 
I think 9x444 or 8x500 for 4.0GHz would be a sweet spot for these new chips. Just like 9x400 and 8x450/8x400 have been popular. It's certainly do-able with DDR2.
 
Are these clocks even practical?

What would we use a 4.4Ghz for? And let's even factor in that this test was some sort of suicide run. Let's say we just had a clock of 4.0Ghz stable. What could utilize the speed (to its utmost potential)?
 
This is fantastic.

4.GHz@1.328 v-core

4.248GHz@ 1.424 v- core

4.419Ghz@ 1.496v-core

All these look to be 24/7 with listed voltage. If use water positively 24/7 stable.

God and its only going to improve with new steppings.
 
Intel's gonna sell boatloads of those things. We'll have to wait for six months for prices to settle where their MSRP was supposed to be.
 
Stunning. I was just about blown away with my socks knocked off by that (29,000-something?) 3D-Mark score, then realized it came from 3D-Mark05, and the 3D-Mark06 score was more like 12,800+.

Part of that comes from the 8800 GT card, part of it due to the Penryn 8500 C2D.

Stunning over-clock potential.

I'll be keeping an eye on the prices. I suppose that by the time I want to pay for it, I'll be ready to exchange this 680i motherboard. But it will be interesting to see how it will run on this board -- with its limitations. At least the Wolfdales are compatible . . . .
 
this is all fine and dandy, but is there an existing scenario where the lack of CPU power hampers gameplay in realistic resolutions for monitors and vid cards appropriate for a machine of that caliber? Just curious, I am sorta on a fence; live with my e6400@3.5 as a main rig and get a cheapy 21x0, or turn that e6400 into a secondary and score one of these. I was strongly leaning towards the former but oh well. I dont need any marginal improvements, rather something sufficiently fast and cost effective...

I think your missing the point by about, ummmm a couple of miles there. 🙂

i was going to say maybe he's not on the same planet cuz he's so far off.

DO NOT TAKE ANY SUICIDE SHOTS AS GIVEN OC's.


Also DC computing would take advantage of every last mhz you had. Only problem is suicide benches dont last longer then 20-30min TOPS.
