Coolaler @ 5.26GHz Sub 10 second SuperPi_1M!!!

[[XC] riptide]

Hmm maybe in mhz, but in computing power is much less. In 1996 we had Pentium I 200mhz, P2 was released on May 7, 1997. I think Conroe is many more times than 10 "faster" than a Pentium 200. I would say it's 10 times more powerful, for not use "faster" than a Coppermine 1000? It was released on May 2000. Hard to tell, as each app/game will show different benefits from new features.

Well, Conroe is basically a re-engineered P3 with new manu processes. An overclocked P3 will beat an early P4.

The valocidades reached by coolaler is impressive.
Will we end up seeing the 6Ghz?
To as much as these processors can arrive with the phase changes?

"Conroe is basically a re-engineered P3"
which in just a slightly upgraded Pentium Pro,
which in turn is just a bit faster Pentium,
which is only an enhanced 486,

so when you really come down to it, Conroe is no better than a 386! (?)

Puhhleez... give the BS a break. There aren't enough fingers on my hands to count all the microarchitecture changes of Conroe, and improvements over P4 Netburst. Dont for a second try to dismiss the huge effort Intel engineers put into this (It all started with PentiumM - March 2003).


dual-core, 4 issue, 14 stage, micro/macro fusion, 1cycle SSE, >5Ghz, SuperPi<10s... does that look (even remotely) like a P3?

EDIT: "An overclocked P3 will beat an early P4" and an overclocked AthlonXP will beat the slowest Conroe.. whats the point of this uneven comparison?

EDIT2: Coolaler.. how are temperatures at yor lofty clocks? Any hot spots on the motherboard? You can do SuperPi 1M@~5.2Ghz, so whats holding you back from doing suicide screenshts at higher clocks??

[sparkY1000]

Just out of curiosity how much did this rig cost??

[rustynator]

Oooh that is a good question...I would be interested to find the answer.....

great job coolaler

Where would the Conroe be if it hadn't had two cores and had only 512kb cache at the same clockspeed of the pentium3.

Pentium3 is the best enginereed-chip so far. Conore has a lot of improvement, but it gets a lot of it's power from the dualcore, cache and clockspeed, not only from it's architecture

5050mhz@spi2m 25.828s

Nobody is surprised that this time is pretty much the same as when you had the multipler at 6 instead of 13 with the same fsb


Is this something to do with it fitting in the cache or did i read it wrong.

Amazing I didnt think of it like that but I guess the point would be the best of old technology is not so easily beaten
