P965 now supports quad-core- First peek of Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700

[windwithme]

This is the first time I get the quad-core processor; maybe the 2007 will be
the first year of quad-core?

The processor I get processor this time is Intl Core 2 Extreme QX6700, runs
at 2.66GHz, we can see if there is any benchmark improvement comparing to
dual-core.

The GBT’s DS3 has been sold last week, the only board on hand is MSI P965
Platinum, Let’s see if the most popular chipset P965 does support or not.

the setting of non-overclocking
CPU 2.66G
DARM DDRII800 CL3 4-4-9
VGA 350/1320mHZ

for general usage, there is not many software support quad-core computing
I take the Everest the main reference of processor performance

the quad-core processor shows amazing performance under the benchmark
software which is supporting multi-core computing

it shows almost double speed than dual-core in benchmark
I remember last year when the dual-core processor goes to market, there are
a lot of consumers worried about the supporting from OS& software.

After a year, we see more and more OS& software supports dual-core.
I believe that the software supports quad-core computing will become more
and more.


it’s looks like the P965 Express chipset can fully support quad-core processor,
the consumers do not have to change their motherboards too quickly.

But the TDP of full loading quad-core computing is not quite low, I suggest to
choose the better components equipped motherboard ( 4-phase PWM or
above)
The sepc and components of MSI P965 Platinum is quite well, and the price is
lower than competitors, unfortunately the limit of FSB overclocking is only
going to 340~350MHz…
We look forward the launching of quad-core and further situation, windwithme is going to next testing…

Very nice :toast:

I was :eek: at the 3D till I saw the "_800 GTX", heheh.

[NO1B4ME]

Awesome results. 2007 is going to be a good year.....:banana:

[ryaan]

wow when u oc'd it ur 3dmark06 score nearly tripled lmao

[kingcars]

Yeah, the F6 BIOS for my Gigabyte P965 S3 brings quad core support :cool:

[Revv23]

Nice writeup WWM, you really need to get a P5B-Deluxe already.

Coolaler and seirra bound have been running kentsfields on 965 for a while now...

[uclajd]

Do a DivX or WMV encode, then we will see some differences...

[Rol-Co]

nice, but you need to put the cinebench test in , its a realy good kentsfield benchmark.

Like this :D

yes i will buy it(P5B-E or P5B-D):)

sorry,i forget to run it....:)

Crikey ! over 10500 cpu score in PC05 ' !!!!

I can't wait for my quad core baby...:toast: :woot:

[TuKo]

question : is "Toricam Gel" for insulation ? :)

yeah can't wait for my kentsfield next week :D

QX6700 @3.3Ghz = 10,500 pcmark05 cpu score !
my E6700 @4.3Ghz = 11,000 pcmark05 cpu score
