maybe its a typo and he meant 3.62 :laugh:

my 3400 nc is 2740 stable@1.586v and then temps get too high beyond that voltage

i only need 1.352v to run it at 2.4ghz

my super pi run

3400 is the chip to have price/performance for non overclockers. I have been saying this a year now started at least 3 threads along similar lines. It's faster than a 3500. And nothing can touch it at it's price point.

But pay attention in workstation apps where it suffers big tyme due to lack of bandwidth:

i was reading at newgg some people was able to overclock it upto 2.9GHZ

Yea on phase, but then again I could get a P4 up to 5.5 on phase as well....

sent, still dreaming. How's that 2x the price for less performance treatin ya?

I am amazed how socket754 Newcastle 3400+ with 512kb cache beat the hell out of the others and match FX series and socket 939, and in some cases beats them all.

Benchmarks

You realise they also publish this site in english? It's one of my favs, after Techreport and Anandtech of course.

First off fugger's score is a suicide shot. It's not stable or even benchable. It's the highest SS ever taken. I'm not sure, but 5.5ghz seems plausable as a top notch 3d benchable speed on p4. As 3.5ghz seems plausable for AMD (recently someone got a slightly over 4ghz suicide shot on an FX).

Secondly, a williamette wont even get close to 3.62 much less 6.32. My guess is that was a joke.

I agree that 754 is 85% as good as a 939 and a a far better value for anything short of very high end machines. I have overcloced my newcastle to 2.4 Ghz with stock heatsink and fan and no effort. Looking at thebenchmarks, the 939 simply doesn't seem to offer that big a difference, if any at all.

I will be curious to see what happens with the new 90nm semprons on the 754 platform. They should overclock very well. the benchmarks in this weeks AT article show it is not far behind the higher end processors, so a few extra MIPS might push it over the top.
