New world record for CPU frequency

insane OC on Intel Celeron D 347 @ 8,199.5MHz

Netburst will forever be the closest to the legendary 10GHz mark vaunted by both Intel and AMD many years ago.

But I have a 2.5GHz quad core CPU so that's 10GHz already!


I wonder if Clarkdale will be able to approach those sorts of numbers. Probably not, but a person can dream.
The Pentium variant has a low bus/memory etc speed so that's most likely to come close I'd guess.

Ugh, no Superpi 1M time?

It's always interesting to push the button and hope it lasts long enough to get a validation file going.

It makes you wonder where netburst would go with 32nm.

4.8 GHz @ 9842 watts.

It'd still suck .

Thank you for posting, despite how the times have changed this is still an impressive accomplishment.

I was honestly hoping to see a CPU that mattered like at the very absolute least an E6600 or maybe an AM2 x2. But a fn celery? And an old ass one at that? I see no point in giving a crap about an 8ghz Oc'd CPU that couldn't do crap compared to a C2D @ stock clocks in real world apps or anything other than maybe folding.

Impressive to see someone dusting off a CPU that they are gonna throw away now but on the other hand not so much to see someone dusting off this old tech. Should we all start dusting off our AXP rig's again, LN2 cool them and start Overclocking like mad? Those days are gone so let them die.

they need to get it over 9000

Well, in order to best cool the £25 CPU, he first heated it to over 200°C to remove the integrated heat spreader (IHS).

I guess thats alright with a $20 chip.

I wouldnt want to heat up my chip to 200C to remove the IHS. Even with a heat gun.

internally the ALU's are running at 2*8.2ghz = 16.4ghz

that's a 61ps clock. now that's really impressive.

Doesn't the IHS solder melt at 100? Lol..

there are 2 ALUs, they are not runninga t 16.4ghz.

 

[adlep]

I can't believe it - it's power level is over 9000!

 

[magreen]

get an atari 2600 to 8GHz and I'll be impressed.

Pitfall!!!!

Um, ALU's = more than one. And yes the units run at twice the core frequency on a P4.
