So faaaaaaast :slobber: :slobber:










http://www.hkepc.com/bbs/news.php?tid=587650

that's why we expecting "conroe" hehe....extremely 4G+ up :party:

why 3.1ghz, that seems a bit slow, and the time is just horrible !! :p:

3.1GHz isn't slow!! and the time is great!!

hehe, im just kidding and I ain't ironic
I would like to see some 3d action!

I want to see some more cooling on it, and more extreme clocks :D

but the pi time is awesome at that clockspeed.
On what mobo is it running?

only with P4 stock cooler;) hope we guys here can easily push 4G+ on LN2

gigabyte i965;)

thanks.

Nice to see the first boards are supporting it now.
unlike yonah early this month

3.1Ghz on stock cooling! :slobber: :slobber:

Itching for some sub zero. :D

Will all i965 chipsets be Conroe ready?

Hmm,great result.

I think sell my T2300, mobo is not arrived yet, and wait conroe...

why?
- not need upgrade yonah to merom, when merom and conroe same chip
- aopen never hit high fsb... and hope conroe board cheaper then aopen..

i975x will probably be same as aopen but 965 will probably go around 200-150 USD if I got it right.

i want one...:banana: :banana: :banana:

Yes, but roumers says it should do 4ghz air... :confused:
But the time is quite sweet ;)

EDIT:
Hicookie, I need to catch ya, PM me or ask Waus where to catch me ;)

What is the stock speed of that conroe? 2.13? I thought it will start at 2.4...

I can't wait it :stick:

Looks superb i want one:toast:

3.1 Ghz on stock cooler :toast:

I wonder if that was a CPU maximum or if it was the board, memory, FSB, or something else.

With 4MB L2 cache start @ 2,4Ghz;)

E4200 | 1,60 Ghz | 2MB | 800 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 4
E6200 | 1,60 Ghz | 2MB | 1066 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 4
E6300 | 1,86 Ghz | 2MB | 1066 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 3
E6400 | 2,13 Ghz | 2MB | 1066 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 3
E6500 | 2,40 Ghz | 2MB | 1066 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 4
E6600 | 2,40 Ghz | 4MB | 1066 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 3
E6700 | 2,67 Ghz | 4MB | 1066 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 3
E6800 | 2,93 Ghz | 4MB | 1066 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 4
E6900 | 3,20 Ghz | 4MB | 1066 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 4
E8000 | 3,33 Ghz | 4MB | 1333 Mhz FSB | Kwartaal 4

now this i like , at last a motherboard that acually works with conroe and can oc .:banana: :banana: nice score .

Hmm, kinda interesting, he has it at 1.392V in order to just get 3.1G, thats alot more than stock. And there are supposed to be Conroes comming out at 3.3G eventually. Although, the FSB might be the problem given that its 388 which to my understanding is pretty darn high.

Exactly, that's why I think everybody that's wants to oc Conroe should pick one with 4MB cache.

Thanks!
3.33ghz 4mb cache and 1333 FSB..... Wow... that thing will kill :stick:

That's what I was thinking too. But on the other hand, CPU-Z read VictorWang's Conroe as having 3V pumped through it or something...

Edit: And why does it show 4MB L2 cache?

put it under LN2... i want to see 12 sec...:p: :p:

The voltage reading isn't the only weird thing... E6400 with 4MB L2?

Anyway, very nice result :D

:cool: we want 3dmarks ,by the way doese anyone know if that mb can cf ? the cpu is probably an es .,

kill me

E6400 was the original SC/DC differentiation point, Intel changed this to E6500 (2.4Ghz) along the way when they demonstrated better yields. DC = 4MB L2 cache (think of it like 2MB/core), SC = 2MB L2 cache.

Makes sense, better yield -> bump the core speed, so DC minumum goes from 2.13Ghz to 2.4Ghz. We can't have a SC faster than a DC if we are trying to "push" more expensive dual core chips, can we? ;)

It's hard to believe how damn fast these things are. For the last several years each evolution of hardware has offered increased performance here and there, but it has been a while since something in the processor world has made this big of a jump from one generation to the next.
I can't wait until these things start showing their real power......remember, this is just very early testing with limited tweaks and very limited mobos.
wow!

AMAZING!:clap:

I am veeery anxious

AFAIK there will be also DC lower then 2,13Ghz.

DC
Conroe: 4MB L2 cache, starting from 2,4Ghz
Allendale: 2MB L2 cache starting from 1,6Ghz

SC
Millville: 1MB L2 cache

they all dual core...

Millville is SingeCore:)

yeah, millville is single core, but millville isn't Conroe, its millville :p:. All the numbers we've seen are Conroes...

Ok talking to the wrong guy LOL, you know the numbers.

And to think I spent close to $500 for my Opteron 170, and now this will retail for much cheaper. Guess in a couple months, it'll be up in FS.:p:

Any idea why spi scores are lower for 2 instances running to load both cores than one instance loading only one core at identical speeds? Or is that not the case? I think people forget that it takes a lower clockspeed to stabilize both cores, rather than one.

So what motherboard was this run on? The 304 Badaxe?

I'd be happy with that CPU right now, even if it didn't do anymore on phase. If it does a 1Ghz overclock on air, then it must surely do insane speeds on phase/LN2 - unless Intel are so godly that they've basically made heat irrelevant in processor operation and overclocking? :D

Xtremely impressive Pi time. I hope that this bump in performance we'll be reflected in everyday applications. In the end that's what really matters.

I can't see how it can't to be honest.

Yonah falls behind A64 in meaningful tests due to its limited cache, but fundamentally Yonah + 4MB cache = Christmas come early.

That said, I'd like to see some more relevant benchmarks. Would also be interested to know just how stable it was at that overclock. 1Ghz overclock on air makes no sense at all, it just blows my mind.

fcg have you guys contacted them in order to see what bios and mobo they are using? or have you all ready worked this out?

Seems I was right about Conroe at 3GHz. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=908 ..or very close. :p:

The cache is shared between the two cores, so theyve gotta fight over it, instead of 1 getting all 4mb.

Holy mother of jesus, this is great. It feels like 486 -> Pentium all over again.
Someone, get that SuperPI to a single number score!

Greets. Rise

Wow, what RAM is that on? I need to make sure to get it :)

I don't think I've yet seen any 3d05/06 scores for these chips yet (or better yet some sort of Conroe Oblivion fps compared to whatever chip you like). Is there any chance one you you guys with the es (or just early) chips can get some real numbers going, or not yet for some reason?

Oh so it seems you have missed Victor Wangs tests then :)

Ahh well what a pity..Seems someone is gona have to search :)

WOW this will be my next upgrade time to start selling stuff.

that is bloody amazing. Can't wait to see 3D @ 3GHz. Damn nice OC for stock air.

i hate buying stuff when it first comes out due to the possible bugs, but holy crap this chip looks awsome. i hope it has good motherboard support(asus, you better not screw this up!) no more damn IDE raid PLEASE!

I cant wait to slap my Vapochill on this thing!
I want one nooooow! :(

Damn, how close to WR?

should post some sandra...just outa curiousity

I know it makes me hard to believe that this person actually is running the processor why he doesnt provide benches for games or sandra at 3.1 gigherz

Kinda sounds fishy

we all know these CPUs have killer SPI times :slobber: but some of the 3D stuff we've seen from conroes looks very good as well........not as impressive as SPI but great nonetheless :)

388MHz FSB = I like it :D

OMG...

Now i'm worry only about mobo for conroe

Well you have many many many more months to worry about it :D

OMG :eek:

And to think that E8000 is even faster @ stock :slobber:

Sorry, but I forgot Victor's thread (how could I?!). Let me go back and re-visit that. I still don't recall any 'real world' fps score comparisons though... I'll check it out.

edit: After re-reading (scanning) the last 20 (!) pages of Victor's initial thread, there are no fps benchmarks that I can find. 3d05/06 scores on his rig @ 2.4 w/1G ram and 7800gtx. I'm hoping for some 'real world' benchmarks soon. Oblivion, for example - although I understand there's no built-in benchmarking for that...

keeps getting better and better. will have tpo sell my opty dc whrn conroe hit stores. wonder what a decent budgetconroe setup will cost in jun/july

i've heard that from 3 diferent persons that know a lot about cpus

another thing that i know is that chipset will be the limiting factor on conroe, you need subzero cooling on the chipset to unleash the real power of conroe, just wait for 975 DFI mobo :)

I thought somebody said the DFI 975 mobo was just a normal mobo, not lanparty or infinity.

hehe i knew metro
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...2phpjGepCR.jpg

wow... ORGASM


SSE4, eh?

so the question is , how many mhz does a conroe need ,to start ranking in the pcmark 05 ? like top 20 . would love to see some more benches .

Man, cool time, wonder what the highest the chip could clock to!

Is this true? I think DFI will sell more if they make a good lanparty, but in the past, DFI hasn't really been popular for intel.

hope some "real" world results pop up sometime soon

Næmmen kafaen, en moldegutt jo :D

On topic: 16 secs, that is FAST!

Does anyone know if the i925X chipset supports Conroe? Because I'm planing on selling my old machine, but after seing this, I'm wondering whether to keep the motherboard.

Check out the following thread regarding which boards does (or rather, DOES NOT) support conroe.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=96989 :toast:

man i cant wait for these to come out.

Question: How come all these ES chips with 4MB L2? this 2.13GHz, 4MB L2 thingy won't be on the retail market right? Sad..:mad:

Perhaps not, but a 2.4GHz 4M L2 and 2.67GHz 4M L2 certainly will be on the market, so meeting or exceeding these scores shouldn't be a problem with easily accessible parts once it is released in volume.

Cedar Mill P4's can do 50% overclocks on air from couple of months back, its nothing new with conroe.

You need i-Ram drive for that top 20 (and futuremark are criminal for banning them !) + conroe and don't forget CF X1900XT. :D

you dont need i ram ,i placed nr 14 a few weeks back ,with a 940@5,1 . and had only one 1900 cf card .i can see conroe is fast in pi ,but how does it do in pcmarks .
