Good to see XS has Kentsfield first and people ready to overclock them for our benefit.
Good work and keep us all posted on just how amazing these chips are:clap:

Aren't those temps a little bit high ?! ^^ > 75 ºC
The temp is actually good, considering VCore was at 1.55v. Kentsfield runs hotter than Conroe, which is to be expected given the number of cores.
Here is an update with a few more benchmarks!...
Enjoy...

That is a nice chip you have there, however temps seem a little high on water cooling. Any idea when they will be available to the rest of us and at what cost?
Retail Kentsfield will be available the middle of November.
That soon, I was expecting like January; I would like to trust your word, but do you have a source that can rid me of my doubt?
Not the most reliable source. But the dates mentioned seem logical. Kentsfield ES chips have been around for several months now.

You are right, not the most reliable; but this means I might be able to afford one of these suckers after x-mas. Thanks for the info !

Intel has already begun revenue shipments of Kentsfield and Clovertown processors. That's a good indication it won't be much longer. They are also on record as saying they will launch this quarter. January would be next quarter.
It's basically an open secret that the launch is mid-Nov.
Any prices posted, I have seen the supposed 999 and 851 prices, but I am assuming that those are for the higher end models.
This might answer some of your questions.Quote:

There will also be Xeon processors that are nearly identical to Kentsfield.

84C on watercooling?!!? :(
Try @ 3.7ghz...
Hmm... quad really such a big difference on cpu score??.
Mine @ 3.7ghz 3d06...
Or is mine a bug??
But i tried a few times... results abt the same...

Hrm... This is what I got a month or two ago with my B0 and P5WDG2 WS Pro. I am not sure of what speed my RAMs ran though.

Your cpu-score is damn good.
Hmmm...I agree My CPU score is pretty low...I wonder if I am getting any thermal throttling?? I will try the 3DMark06 CPU test by itself when I get home this PM..I do not think 200 mhz would cause that large of a discrepancy?Quote:

Amazingly these B3's bench very well..
Quad runs high on benches only...Quote:

Maybe its applications that r not optimised to run on quad... :)
Not yet alteast, but give it time:banana:Quote:

Also...what is your Cinebench 9.5 time for the multi-thread test? I get 12 seconds...

Ok...My scores for the 3DMark06 CPU test now seem much more in line with what everybody else is getting....All that changes was I loaded the new Catalyst 6.10 drivers....I even lowered my clock speed to 3.46Ghz
Hmmm...not sure why that worked but it seems like it did....See picture....
Actually I cannot wait to sell off these x1900xtx's in crossfire...I have two new 8800GTX's coming next week!!! That should be fun!!:banana:
