QX9650 @ 4.14ghz on air

Picture can be seen here.

"Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 is in the lab and the first preliminary tests are quite promising. The processor arrived earlier today, along with 130 liters of liquid nitrogen, but the first tests are solely with air cooling. The processor had no problem jumping up to 4.1 GHz at an instant and when Kinc reached 460 MHz FSB and 4140 MHz stable clock frequency we decided to run the CPU benchmark of 3DMark 06. This resulted in an exact score of 7000 points, with nothing but air cooling. This is just the first out of many benchmarks we will be posting and the coming days, especially this weekend when crotale will come into the test lab again, will definitely be worth sticking around for."

Looks promising, qauds hitting 4ghz like it's nothing, on air for crying out loud!

QX6750 is the Conroe part, not Penryn, fix your title.

 

[MarcVenice]

Oops 😛

AMD is in trouble. Big big trouble. Iraq sort of trouble.

Nice, the Q9450 is next to enter my case. I hope I'll be able to push it to 4GHz on my GA-P35-DS4 under air too.

Errr..yes QX6750 is Kentsfield, but QX9650 is Yorkfield.

500fsb is really pushing a P35-DS4.

4.1 is nothing check out his update this morning!!!

5.6 ghz new world record with pi and with 3dmark 06 and 05...wow those things are amazing!!!!

Suicide overclocking =/= sustainable overclocking.

QX6850 does the same on error. But IPC improvements are nice on yorkies.

Suicide overclocking =/= sustainable overclocking.

Apples =/= Oranges

And your point is?

No one here is shouting ZOMG look at the l33t box that can do 5.6 ghz sustained overclocking.

Why bother coming in here just to post pointless and irrelevant, while factually true, comments?

Anandtech =/= Toms

I =/= U

Hey we could keep going on and on...not that the thread readers are debating this subject or will find any value in it.

I think your post was far more useless than his gentle reminder of the facts...

One was a sustainable long term overclock, the other was a suicide bench.

You compared them, i reminded people in this thread that they arent even similar things.

How does the 3DMark prog work exactly? What does it test for?

Heh, agreed!

 

[Aznguy1872]

Thats insane for a quad core to reach those speeds, especially on air. Very impressive.

 

[SniperDaws]

Thank you MarcVenice AND tylerw13

I enjoyed reading your threads and links. 😉

I thought that ES chips had unlocked multipliers, plus that chip should have one as an extreme ed even if not an ES.

 

[dflynchimp]

lol, 8 second SuperPi. To thing that not even two years ago we were awed at the 18 second SuperPi from the 7GHz P4 630, now any self-respecting Core 2 cpu owners can beat that on air...

 

[zach0624]

These are amazing overclocks. How does this compare to the QX6850 though. I thought that the ES reached 4ghz on air so it seems a little like B3 vs G0. I probably wrong on this but any that is still an excellent oc!

 

[Energizer Bunny]

When is this thing out? Where can I buy it? How much will it cost when compared to my house?

(I'm banking on a ratio close to 1:1 for that last question)

I believe the 1st 45nm is the QX6950 and will launch around $1050 (actual retail, not wholesale tray)

Nov 2nd if im not mistaken.
