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

[justapost]

Thanks justapost!
So the journalist says the comment was about non-clocked/stock Phenom 2 versus i965.The only model listed in online shops that could compete with that core i7 is 3Ghz a940.I guess in those 3 apps the results were close call so he made that comment.But averall,i think Phenom 2 will compete with middle core i7 model @ 2.93Ghz (i940).

Must say I assume they ran with turbo and ht off. wrime is getting an >20% boost from HT. Hardspell had showed only 5% increase at 2.3GHz for deneb vs agena. An 9950BE should need 12.5-13sec at 3GHz, that translates into 11.9-12.4sec on an deneb. An i965 with HT off (Turbo?) reached 11,47sec here. He did not say anything new afterall.
