You missed the point of his post entirely. The start post mentioned something about records and Gautam was simply setting the record straight ;)

They could easely make their cpu's cheaper when they only take half of it.

That's Moore's Law in action, my friend.

In the 65nm generation, the dual core Conroe chips use less silicon (area) than the single core 90nm Pentiums. Because of their huge lead in process technology, Intel has alot of transistor real estate to take advantage of and for this particular microarcitechture, it was a best use of the space they have, while still maintaining a good price margin on the chip. Increasing the cache size and improving prefetchers take alot of pressure off the front side bus. We are seeing the result of it in the benchmarks.

cant see your pic FCG...
EDIT: Now i can... JESUS CHRIST!!!! Is that still with the x1900 at 738 or whatever you did the insane aquamark with???
god damn i cant wait for these to be retail....

Getting closer, over 1K short.

I wouldn't bet on that, Conroe die size maybe more analagous to the first steppings of the Northwood core then Prescott, the die size has shrunk but Intel has used that extra transsitor real estate to put some nice stuff onto Conroe.
We've seen the pictures It's a reasonable die size but not what I would call exactly small either.

Thanks for sharing what you can Fugger and FCG!:toast: :banana:

can see it now :)

cant see your pic FCG

Pic works fine here? :confused:

nice CH, would be nice if you guys added what memory was used on those tests.

How can I vew the world record scores and compare them to what Fugger has produced?

Well, Futuremark seems to be down this morning, but www.futuremark.com will get you there sometime. Go to ORB (tab across the top). Search and compare whatever you like.

Nice benchmarks guys. :toast:

FCG, is that 380fsb benchable? What tweaks were needed to get there?

:woot: What card clocks? CF i gues. So FCC and Fuger you guys figure out some Vcore mods yet? I see 1.295 Vcore on this cpuz.

if i look at his sig i would say 7900 in sli

Actual CPU voltage is 1.15 IIRC, and i don't think they have access to it. As soon as they get some better boards in... wait and see the clocks ;)

No the D975XBX and the D955XBK can change voltages. Up to 1.65 if i remember correctly.

jesus people, stop quoting FCGs pic!!! this thread page is long as hell, and thats definately not helping.
So what was the video on that nucking futs 50k FCG?

i editted my post :)

X1900XTX Crossfire.

Sorry if this has been answered before but what temps are u getting guys and with what cooling and ambient temp?

edit: i found my answer. :)

any game benches?
or too dissapointing to show them?
(just kidding :))

Why would they be disappointing? 3DMark taxes the system as much as most games would so there's no reason to believe the results wouldn't follow roughly what we've seen with 3DMark so far.

3D mark doesnt show much imo
i want oblivion benches :)
