After playing with the INtel 955XE for just a couple of hours I decided to give it a bit of a cold treatment - this chip looks like a winner! 11222 points so far.
Going to push it a bit further later! Intel finally looks to be on top of things!
Still preliminary testing! Motherboard ( Asus P5WD2-Premium - 955)giving me some cold-boot trouble...

I don't see anything there to make me think that score is from the CPU alone.
your General Hard drive usuage is about 4 times higher then the current highest PCmark2005 score... and that guys using some seriously insane SCSI stuff...
your start up score is also about 4 times higher then the current top.
your hard drive virus scan is also twice as high as his...
his HDD Start up score... 23.9
yours... 79.2
heres the score I am looking at, the current top for the ORB.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm05=199017
as far as I can see... no one can seem to match your hard drive scores on the front page of the ORB.
also, I see, that a 3.3 ghz X2 seems to be able to match your CPU portion of that benchmark...
so it would seem, your score is mainly from whatever hard drives your using, and from the looks of it, it looks like a Ram Drive of some sort...
but thats just my guess.
"The command and conquer model," said the EA CEO, "doesn't work. If you think you're going to buy a developer and put your name on the label... you're making a profound mistake."
Yeah - it's pretty close - not sure - think the Intel has the upper hand - CLocks are not nearly maxed out on that run either - SLI helps the X2 score for now - here's the comparo

I'd say that it's that 2 gig ram drive thats giving you those scores.
don't get me wrong, I am stoked to finally see a 5+ ghz P4 Dual Core thats benchable, and not just a screen shot with LN2.
these new 955XE's look like a whole different league, then previous P4 DC Chips, which honestly I would have said to avoid at all costs if your a overclocker... they are just too damn hot, and don't OC all that great.
but this is definatly something different.

I'll run it with s single drive in a few should give a less screwd result - once the friggin mobo starts again. Has the coldbug...Originally Posted by Kunaak
Aprt from the SLI advantage only multithread #1 is faster otherwise the Intel is ahead
out of curiousity, what are you using to cool this CPU and what kinda temps are you seeing??

Running dry ice atm - 1M @ 5.85GHZ was -60C inside the container and -49C on the bottom of container. With the PD 820 there would have been a 20-30C difference.vs the ~10C dfference with the 955xe. Chip runs a lot cooler compared to the old heater...
The PCMark05 run I only ran ~ -30C on the container bottom - beacuse the motherboard is acting strange. I have a feeling that there is a setting in the bios that shuts down the system - have to look into that.
Board will not let me boot with CPU temps below -35C...can't see CPU temps - can't see anything below 0C with the asus tool - and bios only until -20C I believe
Temps are pretty low compared the 6X0 and 8X0 series chips. HUGE improvement

Mike's not running a Ramdrive (at least I'm pretty sure he's not). From the looks of it, he's running an LSI Logic Scsi Raid controller with a nice array of drives. Setting a partition just large enough to run PCMark is optimizing his score even further. Those controllers aren't considered cheats and they're not exactly cheap eitherNice work Mike....maybe I'll have to send you my sample PCI-E Sata2 RAID controller which I should be getting soon......
.
show me how to do this and I will believe you...
I've done this almost always for the last 4 years.
it's never once given the kinda scores I am seeing here...
I have a raptor drive here, so speeds not a huge issue.
I also have 2 more coming this week.
I want to see this then...

hey mike, very nice scores
you put it under LN2 or something ?
besides... ur ram ... 516mhz 4-3-2-4.......... crazy !
If you've been using onboard RAID, there's no way you'll ever see scores that even enter the same league as Mike's. Onboard stuff all runs through an asic which in turn requires cpu resources making it a further disadvantage. If you run a separate controller card, you free up those resources and also gain the ability to run configs which aren't possible using software controlled asics. 3 74G raptors running sofware Raid5 looks like a snail when you compare it to 10 15k u320 SCSI drives in Raid10 on a PCIE LSI Logic controller. To give you an idea of just how much processing power is required to run such an array, my SATA2 pcie Raid controller is supposed to be powered by an Intel onboard processor running in the neighborhood of 500-600 mhz.....
glad this CPU is working out for you, mike
you're right, does look likethis ones a winner
Well i've not built a new Intel rig in quite some time, BUT this is looking very interesting !!
24/7 Work & Play Rig

Very nice work Mike, though I do sorta want to see what you could do with an X2 matched with those hard drives and cooling.
Edit: Damn, it's that pi score that looks most impressive to me...sooo close to 21 sec range!

nice ,what ram are u using? with those timmings . nice to see intel scoring good .what about any 3dmarks tests?

Very nice chip FCG- TY!! Doesn't do too well on air ( Miami tropical air...) - compared to the other 2 I see here on XS - but under cold it does fairly well.
I haven't even touched the limits - since I basically can't get a reboot done @ -40C without the motherboard going on strike. Not sure if it is the 606 bios - or the board is just a dud- well was a egg refurb - will have to look for another one soon...
Incredible chip - so far it has been the most exciting CPU I have been playing with in a while. The overclocking potential is just amazing.
Compared to an X2 @ 3.3GHZ the chip is doing about 400-600 points more PCmarks wise - but like I said - I don't think that this is nearly the limit of clocks that I reached so far and the differnce could become bigger.
I have a feeling 3DMarks wise the X2 could potentially be stronger- but I will look into that in the next few days.
The HDD socres were I-RAM but can be beaten with a serious U320 array and some deep tweaking - which also helps more on virus scan than I-RAM. My 2nd channel died for some reason and now 40mb/s is max I could get on XP start-up - until I get the LSI repaired...
The ram - can't talk too much about it yet - but i can go to a much higher level if pushed on voltage some more - 1040mhz DDR2 was the max @ 4.3.2.4.2 with 2.25V ( Bios 2.3V) on the stock mobo
SuperPI should be easily in the 20s and lower- was not optimzed just a quick run to see how far I could go

Can you post a Hexus version pifast score so I can compare to FX-55/57?
Regards

hey man... you are really lucky to have the ram...monster !
my 1gb*2 can only 2.3v 470mhz 4-3-2-4-2 hyperpath3=on, ecc=on
DAMN GUAVA! GOOD STUFF!
that PCMark 05 score is pure RAPE

woah that's crazy slaughter's my puny 7,710 score with Opteron 170 @2800mhz http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm05=195265
i posted a pcmark05 excel calculator here http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=787 you can change each component's results for the suite score and see how it effects the final score... me thinks the hdd scores helped alot for 955XE
changing just hdd start up, file decryption, hdd general and audio compression on my excel spreadsheet for my opteron 170@2800mhz to your 955XE values put me at 10,200+ pcmark05 without taking into account virus scan which is a big boost in scores

Mike, is that some special ram for you there which would be soon released into retail or are they only exceptional sticks picked out of the existing DDR2 around?
away & gone
Sick sick sick there mike nice job.
Nice scores
What manufactured memory ?
Life sometimes gets in the way of what we want to do.
Very nice scores idd :O Whit what are u cooling ur CPU ? Vapo or Casecade ?
