Intel to Retaliate to AMD Phenom II Overclocking Feat, Plans Demonstration at CES '09

[Jimmer411]

At least someone was able to lay hands on a "mother of all chips". I'm still waiting for that 3GHz Phenom which AMD demo'ed to appear somewhere.

Check my sig and many others That barrier was broken a long time ago.












As much as I wanna say that this is pointless and almost immature of Intel (They have nothing to prove), I am greatly lookin forward to another GHZ war After all in the end WE win.

For a long time this community has been split and the animosity shown reminds me of elementary school. Having both sides competitive like the AXP and P4 days will be a great thing for the community as a whole.



From what I read, AMD sensors were tweaked, not disabled. So maybe the cold bug is something that the manufactures put in rather than a by product of the manufacture process?

Maybe we can get a Fugger a Cherry Picked Phenom II to test>>>>>>>>Yes???

Yeah, that'll be something.

ROFL


Now that'll throw a spanner in the works. :P

My conclusion from reading some articles on the new PII manufacturing process is that improved design has resulted in a consistently better thermal envelope for the operating range of the chip. Hence, in keeping with AMD's new OC philosophy, the company has expanded the op temp envelop to 300C.

I think this is confirmed by the unbelievable 33C at 3.9Ghz (1.55 voltage) while running crysis on AIR. These chips promise to be OC mofos. Whether they best Intel chips is beside the point - they are going to be a blast to tweak with ACC and a billion different iterations of AOD settings - voltages and clocks.

Where is this confirmed? There is no way this will happen, Not by AMD or Intel in the next two years anyway.

Informal provided this SOURCE. But other journalists at the AMD demo confirmed as much. For example, we know that 3.9Ghz at 1.55v was obtained using AIR.

While I can't give exact numbers in terms of GHz, I can give you some of the voltages and temps seen while running the Crysis demo. Keep in mind these temps are not anywhere near 100% CPU usage, but they aren't exactly idle either.

* Air: Cooler Master Hyper Z600 - Around 1.5-1.55V / 33C
* Water/Tec: CoolIT Freezone Elite - Around 1.6V / 38C
* Phase Change: VapoChill - 1.7V / Below 0C (software / MB wouldn't report negative numbers)
* LN2: 1.75V (at least during the Crysis demo... *grin*)

Except, you have to take into consideration, ambient temps. Is there a theoretical ambient temp for air?
