Conroe E6400@MSI 975X Platinum

[Hassan]

I think we're going to have to re-evaluate many benchmarks as Conroe is just smashing them... sandra multimedia, pi 1m, 3d 01

FSB increment by 53%

Will it be possible with XE? 333 + 53% =~5GHz

I've been afraid to look at the Intel section for a few weeks now. This morning I finally looked inside and sure enough saw what I was looking to avoid. We're still months away from us getting these in our hands and I'm already looking at the calendar. Looking back at the benches, looking at the calendar, looking back at the benches, looking at the calendar, looking back at the benches, looking at the calendar, looking back at the benches, looking at the calendar, looking back at the benches, looking at the calendar, looking back at the benches, looking at the calendar, looking back at the benches ....

Wake me up in a few months.

Imagine what could do OCers from Russia and Taiwan if they work together.. Everyone knows that russian guys OC processors by changing multiplyers so if they take conroe, put there 14x multi and OC to FSB400? 5.6GHz?

Thanks a lot coolaler

Any other results to compare with ?

Coolaler, your HD looks relatively slow.

[Getttosmurf]

those sandra 2007 multimedia scores are insane

[Eastcoasthandle]

Is it possible to see what it does with games?
-HL2 Lost coast stress test
-Q4 demo test
-etc?

Those are just 2 that come to mind? Or did I miss that already?

Russian overclockers help a bear and vodka for changing multiplyers

any pics can show the differences between PCB1.* and PCB 2.*A?

[iterations]

This is amazing, it keeps getting better and better, 15s was just broken!

[iterations]

The latest data.

So it look slike we can expect 15s SuperPi_1M scores for the Core 2 Extreme, stock!

Cheers!

nice!
me likes it
BUT merom is NOT as fast as conroe due to low fsb so you should call your table somehow different and if you used merom results it may affect the "result"

[iterations]

At stock speeds Merom may be slower than Conroe due to FSB differences, but the Merom data fits perfectly on the regression line for the Conroe data, so under these overclocked conditions they seem to have very close performance parity.

Of course if Conroe data shows up that is significantly different at similar clock speeds, I will update the data.

7sec 1M @ 4.3Ghz? can only dream

Keep up the amazing results coolaler!!!

[VulgarHandle]

i've asked earlier, but no response....

the merom is runnin 150+ lower on the fsb, yet, at the same overall clock, they seam to run on par

so, is fsb being minimized as far as it's importance on overall performance? same with ram? coolaler is running much tighter timings on his ram, obviously due to him only having 2x512, but amount of ram dosn't really affect sp1m..., is overall performance not being as affected by timings now too?

most a64 builders noticed that overall performance isn't impacted much by ram speed(untill you get to 2800mhz+), although i have limited knowledge on how much fsb impacts overall performance, as most are limited by multiplier....

[iterations]

The design goals for Core included minimizing the effects of FSB as much as possible, through larger L2, and improved prefetch logic. It looks like the prefetch logic is working quite well for this workload, so the CPU is able to continue doing useful work without waiting for data.

Thanks coolaler for this amazing post.

Can wait for conroe :d

->iterations I love your graph dude, a great touch, thanx

very nice stuff!!

omfg thats so fast. I got to get me one in a few months. Current computer is a p4 2.0ghz I also cant wait for vista, im sick of this xp s its like i wipe my computer then install windows, sp2, antivirus, scaners, firewall, dx9, drivers, all my games, ect. then in a month i got to do it all over because it lags like hell and i got so many viruses, i spend 4 or 5 hours a week keeping my computer runing, such a pain in the a .I think im gona buy a external hd to ghost onto.

[tdenton1138]

What are you doing to get all these virusii? I run the free Avast, free MS Defender (formerly Giant's antivirus product) and have basically zero problems. I have had one virus/trojan make it onto my system (in the past 5+ years - maybe ever) and it was picked up immediately and removed without a problem. Also I recently started using Ewido Anti-malware to scan every month or so.

You must be visiting a darker side of the internet than I... heh

Edit: I'm also behind a generic Linksys router and the XP pro firewall

Updated with latest data and forward predictive regression curve:

Looks like 12s is in the realm of possibility once these chips are released with higher multipliers. Woohoo!!!
