PCPER.com: 5 GHZ+ Phenom II Overclock on Dry Ice, 6Ghz on LN2

[Zucker2k]

Yeah, hard to believe CPU-Z 1.46 supports Deneb.

[Sparky]

The reason for this

Just look at the CPUZ window.. notice the "over the top compression effects"? Like the gray window area looking pinkish a lot.. Its seems to happen a lot on the CPUZ window only while the others not much affected. The GPUZ looks clean, while Orthos has a slight "pink" on its left border.

Notice that?

I zoomed in on that picture and looked at it, all the gray windows have a slight pink mixed in them. The picture I saved of the edges though is BMP to prevent any further JPEG losses but it makes for a large file, too big to post But the CPU-Z and Orthos windows are the same with the pinkish tint to them. The GPU-Z window is lacking the pink.

LOL @ blogspot

[hyc]

why so much confusion about the zdnet article... numbers just fit fine...

Queen:

Dunnington:
12core: 57432
1core: 5635

Scaling: 10,2

the only odd thing are the julia benches.

The Sinus Julia results look totally bogus. The AES results look pretty bogus too.

Boo.......Blogspot

Another fake attempt.Lol how did they think it would pass??
Oh well,next please

[Ghostbuster]

Nice catch Ghostbuster

I knew that pix look familiar, it took me just a while to pinpoint it back..

so bobblemagnifique had the 6ghz deneb in 2007? sweet

One thing is for sure, you at least live up to your name

How long will it take before another attempt shows up?

No, it means some b!tch stole his picture and faked some Deneb screen to get some attention.

Well, your sarcasm detector isn't working today, is it?

Just noticed it I guess.. Ever wonder about those ads on that blogspot? Fishy.. ain't it?

The screenshot looks too degraded considering its supposed to be "first" source. And the benchmark figures look way off.. First sign was the processor picture and the olde CPUZ.

Well, whoever's behind this is pulling a fast one... But who?

[Hornet331]

nice catch ghost... i'll wait till the 9th befor beliving anything.

Definitely fake. 1.46 doesn't support Deneb, thus it couldn't detect the "Revision" field. But in the pic the field has content which is blurred == fake.

[G0ldBr1ck]

lol, The markbench guy has been exposed for his fraud on his own site..........look at comments on bottom of page http://markbench.blogspot.com/2008/1...very-step.html

[Ghostbuster]

He's even promoting his blog at http://forums.anandtech.com/messagev...=y&STARTPAGE=1 under the name "wooox".

Even the guys ar Hardspell picked it up http://en.hardspell.com/doc/showcont.asp?news_id=4500 Someone better warn them before...

Gotta love the professional paint shop experts who make those wonderful cpu-z shots

That's a paradox in itself

Ah lol hardspell could have waited a bit longer and saved themselves from the embarrassment.But i guess it's too late for that

The thermal diode is not disabled in Denebs,that would never happen BTW.I don't know what Francois was thinking when he said that..
It is just calibrated so that it doesn't lock the chip when temp. drops below certain level or go above certain level.That's all.The thermal monitoring works and is not disabled like Francois claims.This was achieved with some changes in design + a big change in manufacturing(apart from smaller node AMD ,for the first time,applied DFM strategy for it's first gen. 45nm parts,which cuts costs and improves yields).

Francois wasn't talking about Denebs, he was talking about Nehalems. Francois gave instructions to FUGGER on how to disable the temperature sensor on Nehalem to make sure Nehalem wouldn't crap out under extreme clocks and extreme cooling. Now he will pretty much have to tell everyone how to do such tricks, otherwise it would be a useless achievement to be able to clock it that high while nobody else can.

Actually he was talking about Denebs first.He implied AMD was messing with the chips just for the demo and disabled the thermal monitoring thus allowing high clocks.He then said he will give his "special chip" to world class OCer and show intel can do 6/7Ghz clocks by messing with on die sensors(8bit manipulation he mentioned).You can search his post and find this by yourself.

Not going to believe a word about Phenom II until NDA is lifted and there are proper reviews.

Just like the 30k 3DMark06 with Phenom @ 3GHz.

LoL, yeah i noticed that too, but i attributed it to people thinking jpg's are what they should use, instead of png's.



Well glad to know now, that those unbelievable results were just that, unbelievable ^^
