New 3DMark06 WR with Phenom II X4

[Spectrobozo]

amazing

[Erdemliol]

Nice to see Amd racing to the top. Great result congrats on the new wr.

[drizzt5]

The youtube video made me laugh. You pet your kitten to that type of music often? LOL

nice job

[George_o/c]

Holy ing you guys !, that is just lovely ! Great benching from two xtreme legends !

It's so much fun, watching the Intel guys trying to follow you

[cdawall]

great run

[msimax]

nice

[chew*]

Congratz guys

[crazydiamond]

holy how did i miss this update today! ing great job guys! awesome video! i have no more words, i need a smoke now! congrats

Francois Piednoel (Dr Who?) is Intel employee and already told here that "I am not even sure that it will be called 975".

You are sure about 975 but Intel employee is not.. very interesting..



Current 3DMark Vantage, 3DMark06 and 3DMark05 world records are all done with such an engineering sample Core i7 CPUs that current retail Core i7 CPUs cannot match.




We benched that CPU and other CPUs in Chicago, Las Vegas and back home on motherboards with AM2+ socket and DDR2 memory. We published our first AM3 + DDR3 results last monday when NDA was lifted.

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.

from what I know , the engineering samples score will be invalidated, as we proposed last week.

You are right on the money my friend!

Wow, congrats all round, that's a damn impressive CPU!

Also that You Tube clip is wicked

[Fronzbot]

Absolutely amazing! When I saw those numbers, well, let's just say i needed a new pair of pants :p

[T_M]

With all it's twists and turns this thread is shaping up to be a cracker not only for showcasing a ing awesome result from TF, but also for sowing the seeds to a better competition for overclocking.
Dino great post and thanks for taking the time to spell it out thoroughly.
Francois, im really really pleased to see your post

Oh, come on, Mr Francois, we want to see the best results possible. (Your wonderful 975 D0 and Intel's answer again. )

If it runs 3.33GHz at default (133MHz x 25) and has a QPI link of 6.4GT/s then it is indeed a Core i7 975, isn't it?

[SF3D]

So, I am not going to get to this contest again... this time, I am not doing it, it is turning to funny.

Come on! We all know, that you are not going to end seeding your CPU's to certain persons. It's your game and you started it.

End of offtopic.

Guys please! Do not derail or trash our 06 thread like I just did

Quoted for truth!

Please people don't derail this great thread and focus on TF results.

Great work TF,keep it up.

[dduckquack]

theres competition overclocking and theres fun overclocking. not saying that competing cant be fun... or you cant compete in while having fun.. or... bah... nice words dino

[Kinc]

Big congrats again Team Finland! I wish you the best of luck for the live benching the coming weekend. 36k, I know you can do it

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.

[[XC] Oj101]

I love that video

Now LHe the cards as well

[jcmarfilph]

as always... very nice results

congrats Team Finland...

[bigcesar]

nice

awesome chip

Just repeating ...

well, and the race is on 3DMark vantage now ... and with CPU from the stores
Sorry, I understand that you have few special chips ... so do I, Fugger showed he could get the 3DMark05 WR, it was very simple ... the instruction per clock advantage of Core i7 is so big that it comes easy.

Those scores will not validate anymore, as the big majority of XS members requested last months, after we did beat your scores. Thanks for not changing your opinion again.

Francois, World Record of 3DMark vantage ... just kidding :-P

Francois, World Record of 3DMark vantage

Sorry man, Vantage is NVIDIA's world record

amaaaaaasing stuff lads, top job !!
