New 3DMark06 WR with Phenom II X4

[Sampsa]

HA ha! you said my name ... I can post ...
So, I am not going to get to this contest again, I could use an other engineer sample as you did for 3DM05. As I was saying last week, I believe that we should not file records with engineering sample . .. we showed on 3DMark05 that it was easy to get back ... this time, I am not doing it, it is turning to funny. Let's see what people can do with what is in the stores ... not with some crazy chips you and I can get.

Race has been on since 1999 and it will continue more likely another +10 years:



Being on top needs constant upgrades to your system. At one point it is ATI graphics card which can get the highest result and next it is NVIDIA. 3 years ago everyone used Athlon 64 platform but last couple of years it has been Intel dominating the scene. It has been always like that and will be.

Basically what we all need here in XtremeSystems are high-leakage chips which are out of spec for normal retail CPUs. I hope both Intel and AMD would introduce "Overclocking edition" of their CPUs and make use of those silicon dies which are currently being thrown away as "bad" ones, they are perfect for overclocking and reaching high frequencies:





Everyone would be happy here, but it is just a dream.
