Why would microsoft advertise the processor?
Click to expand...

they woudnt advertise this processor because it was built for testing and found out it was to fast and would not sell others that were made in the future,No money for the future.understand.

OIC!
That's exactly the reason why I didn't tell people about my homemade UFO, so I can keep selling my homemade F-15.

The fact that you say it's running at 520MHz is also an immediate clue that your incorrect.
The CUV4X only runs fully within specifications at a FSB of 66/100133MHz, and you can't get 520MHz from any of those FSB speeds. While you could set the FSB at an alternative speed that would be running outside of specifications, and Intel most definitely would NEVER EVER dream of launching and supporting a processor on a platform within which it would not operate fully within it's stock rated specs.

Yes it runs at 133 ,you are correct and it is 520E.keep seaching for info,Good luck.

"Its been seen running by many that have hotrodded 3.2's ,and yes its rare and probably faster than your mobo,Search microsoft if you like it wont be on their site either"

Wow....A CPU faster than a mobo??? That's just mind blowing. And, no wonder I won't be able to find information about that CPU in "Microsoft".

BTW,

Did I tell you about this operating system that's just faster and more secure than Windows XP? I have e-mailed Intel about this ass kicking OS and they told me it was a limited edition. It's also extremely rare because they didn't want it to ruin their Windows market. It runs on a Linux core and bumps into Windows kernel when it needs it. This OS is even faster than a internet explorer!

Oh and you won't find information about this OS on Intel website.

If you don't believe me, leave me your e-mail addresses so I can wash out your brain with my porn collection.

CUV4X? That's a VIA chipset board.

If I have to guess, it's probably a P3-500 Katmai-core engineering sample that has been slightly overclocked with 103/104/105mHz FSB. Katmai's do have 512K L2 cache. The VIA chipset does let you run the FSB asynchronously/independent to the PCI/AGP dividers IIRC.

I can whip that thing's a$$ with my old P3-600E CuMine. :D

My first totally home built PC was based on the Pentium III 550E Coppermine FC-PGA. It sounds like we have a test sample of a CPU based on that design but rated as a 520E. The "commercially" available Coppermines were 500E, 550E, 600E and so on up the line. The above CPU sounds plausable, especially if it was never part of a production line but only a test sample.

I had one too, It was a great overclocker! I ran it at ~20GHz, untill it overheated and died. :p

Your confirming yourself that it can't be both a 520MHz processor, and 133MHz FSB. That would require a 3.909X multiplier. Do you honestly believe that Intel supports multipliers that specific?
In any case the CUV4X only supports full and half multipliers derived from the processor.

Well, now that I have the pic, I must say it looks like your avarge Coppermine, running at some oddball FSB, say 130x4 or some such.

Oh and I can host that pic if you don't mind Fitz.

ok, idont care about screen shots, jus give me some 3dmark, system mark, super pi benches then ill believe, it maybe be as fast in WIN 3.11 and DOS but i need evidence.

i can see the boot screen, but that is just not enougth...... the procesor may exist but the performance is questionable

Yeah a boot screen doesn't mean jack. A 520mhz p3 is not going to be faster than a p4.
