Celeron 430 @ 3ghz vs FX-57 @ 3160mhz , the new Celeron rocks

[PcCI2iminal]

How the title says:

Celeron 430 @ 3ghz vs FX-57 @ 3160mhz

Cinebench
Celeron 430 -> 473
FX-57 -> 435


CPUMark99
Celeron 430 -> 400
FX-57 -> 406


PiFast
Celeron 430 -> 36.00secs
FX-57 -> 38.58secs


Pi 1m
Celeron 430 -> 22.828secs
FX-57 -> 26.922secs



very easy to reach 3ghz stable with the crappy Intel cooler box








Celeron 430
MB->Gigabyte P35-DQ6
DDR2->Crucial 6400
Cooling->Intel Cooler Box
HDD->Hitachi 40GB
SO->WinXP Pro SP2

FX-57
MB->DFI Ultra D
DDR->OCZ Platinum 400 TCCD
Cooling->water + ice
HDD->Hitachi 80GB
SO->WinXP Pro SP2

room temp -> 28C

What would you say are the effects of DDR2 and P35 verses the FX-57 system?

At any rate nice performance for a $54 chip on the stock cooler verses $400+ chip (if you can find it) on water cooling.

[PcCI2iminal]

the P35 is not fast as i975X or 680i but Gigabyte/Celly will beat DFI/FX-57 in games and compressions.
what to say? the old A64 needs more clock and AMD needs Phenom

At any rate nice performance for a $54 chip on the stock cooler verses $400+ chip (if you can find it) on water cooling.

sry, i edited the post ,its not only water is water + ice

[bluep3ace]

well, a conroe's a conroe, isn't it?

thanks for the comparison.

[elec999]

So the new celerons are really good.
Thanks

my friend that celeron is just begging for extreme cooling.. bring on the LN2.

[TL1000S]

Thanks for sharing PcCI2iminal.
You're as always "The Man" for us "budget clockers" with all your comprehensive testing of cheap iron.

One 440 ordered today.. <hnngg>.

PS.
Who would think a little over a year ago that a "celly" would whoup "FX ass".

[kiwi]

Tried fsb wall on this?

I will get celly 420 today with 8x multi

Those would have been fighting words back then.

here my friend

i got it on air a week ago



and today i was trying to get better scores under dry ice and i got only 399FSB on DFI RD600

my friend that celeron is just begging for extreme cooling.. bring on the LN2.

not that celly ,but i will try with a new one(420 or 440)

thx
i like Celeron ,they are very funny on air and very cheap
and now they are so powerful hehehe

Still very nice for a cheap chip, it is enough on air My 420 does 8x340 so far all stock. I am also testing new Asrock 1333 mobo but 945 is not so good for oc since I have to raise PCI-E freq > 120. But some user got it up to 420fsb. Need ATA HDD or PCI sata card

[NinjaZX6R]

Ordering one of these now. I can't resist. With my Biostar P35 board coming tomorrow, this comes to $165 for the combo. Amazing!

Of course a conroe is a conroe, but a Celeron compared to a e6320 for example is no much.
The 3ghz on here is nothing compared to a PROPER conroe.

[NinjaZX6R]

I'm pretty sure this thing can do A LOT more than 3.0ghz. It's a single core, probably runs WAY cooler, has less cache...that spells a dang good OC. While the performance obviously won't match a "real" conroe, I think this thing will be an absolute blast to play with.

This little chip has no idea what's about to hit it

[funkflix]

I have a 430 incoming too, will post results here soon!

Are this new celerons based on a real single-core design, or maybe just one core or something disabled?

I was going to ask the same thing. Seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth for Intel to completely design a Celeron from the ground up like that. Maybe it's a dual core with one core disabled? That would be a first.

[Zzzz]

Are those celerons (430,440) supported by chipsets such as 915P and the 925X? After all they only use a single core, very much like the celeron Ds.
Sorry for the OT D-:

I doubt it, as they use the architecture of the core 2 duos. Hmm, then again, it's not a chipset limitation, but a limitation of the motherboard power regulation. I think any core 2 duo board will support these, but nothing else. I don't think the two chipsets you mentioned will though. A few generations too old.

Recieved my stuff today! I just install windows atm, results later.

[[XC] gomeler]

If they could hit 550FSB these could be fun chips, just throw 2 volts at them for the hell of it

[Solarfall]

muahahaha ordered my self a 440 celly yesterday.. im so gonna torture the living bejesus out of that chip.. i hope to hit over 3.1ghz with water. wish me luck

[somwhere_there]

woot, at least some fun stuff happening!!! way to go guys! waiting on some results

[RAW-Raptor22]

Yeah, I think that is really cool to that with the new Celerons like that, but beating an FX-57, wow. I find it interesting how similar the overclockable Celerons of today compare with the OCable Cellys of yesteryear. Compare this Celeron the to the Tualatin Celerons of five years ago:

Both P6 Core Based
Both have half the Cache of their Pentium Counterpart (Either PIII-S or E2xxx)
Both of them have massive OC potential
Both of them when OCed beat out CPUs that nobody thought they would (Pentium4(A), FX-57)
Both of them were a tremendous value in their day.

Some results:

Prime -

3000MHz stock Vcore

3300MHz ~ 1.37V

SuperPI 1M -

3420MHz 1.43V 19.861s

It seems that this CPU has a FSB limitation at ~ 385MHz, can't reach 35xxMHz.
