Intel is really loving superPI right now huh...

[Xassius]

ooo....nice :D

SPi - it`s all about memory subsystem speed.

[DilTech]

And cache speed and size....

I lost interest in SuperPI a while ago. It's more about 3DMark, PCMark, things that can apply to practical use.

I bet Tom Holck is wounded setting the WR and they bring out a chip that beats him straight off the bat.On the other hand it will be great to see what times can be achieved:woot:

[MaxxxRacer]

While its yet to be seen how this chip will perform otherwise, I must admit that is a stupidly fast SP1M time.

I would venture to guess that it could hit sub 10 seconds with some good ole' LN2.

[Dimitriman]

Impressive, but what really gets my attention is the little fact that its a sub $300 chip eh!:toast:

[onewingedangel]

looks like superpi 1m is going to become obsolete soon, better start moving onto 4m...

Great at superpi would like to see some 3d benchies

If I remember correctly was it just 4 MB of Ram is used for SuperPI so in theory couldn't it Run entirely in the Cache of Conroe or Yohan and thus not have to deal with the FSB to get the incredible scores..

Stop speculating about a CPU you cant buy ;)

Thats what a forum is for isnt it:slapass:

[biohead]

I'd love to see some encoding done with this. SuperPI... boring :coffee:

You need to know nn_steps primary mantra through the provisional Conroe-craze to get the irony of my statement :)

[Mowgli]

juz amazing seeing this numbers...these conroes brings everything to a whole new level...
