8 Ghz P4???

Last time I checked Tomshardware 5 Ghz Project they used liquid nitrogen, the whole thing got frozen and ice got to the motherboard.
I'm not sure about that dude with 8Ghz.
 
I don't know exactly how fast a P4 can run, I think it can handle something around 12-13GHz based on the pipeline depth but you'd probably need your own nuclear power generator to power it and an absolute 0 freezer to keep heat under control. :P

Too bad the CPUz shot doesn't tell the voltage they had to use. For ~7.7GHz it says they were at ~1.8v. http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=159553 :D

edit: the toms 5ghz project wasn't using a 965 board.

that's nothing.

anyone read that article on here last week about the 500ghz room temperature processor created by IBM?

They froze the processor to absolute zero, and apparently it creates some sort of chemical change that allows the processor to handle extremely high temperatures at room temperature.

As I've said before, that wasn't really a processor. And it it was only frozen to 'near absolute zero' temperatures as it's impossible to freeze anything to absolute 0.

Goddammit, an RF chip? WTF is this world coming to?

That original article was crap :(

I'm so disappointed right now.
 
that's the one i stumbled across that broke my heart

this site is fantastic!

i'm reading the ps3 vs. xbox360 1080P showdown right now

these guys are really knowledgeable

and i had no idea ps3 has no hardware scaler...........

fantastic site.
 
P4s have always been known to be great overclockers. The only problem with overclocking them is you dont get a dramatic increase in performance as you would overclocking an Athlon at the same speed.

Very nice OC though, i remember 7ghz was the highest.
 
It is questionable, the highest Core 2 Duo is somewhere around 5Ghz right now. But it would definetely be able to beat it in performance :D

well i am pretty sure if you had a X6800 and a 680i mobo you could. you would have to up the voltage to maybe 1.2-1.3V and have some EXTREME cooling

think about how much you could OC with a 45nm core:D:D:D:D

and E4300 could kick the P4 butt in performance

liar


you cant put anything to absolute zero

the closest they got was .6 from 0K and there they had tiny rubidium atoms and used lasers to push them together so tight that they wouldn't move, since temperature is just energy and energy is only created when things move. so molecules rate of speed is temperature, hence the reason you cant go below absolute zero
 
yeah i think a C2D could go way past 8ghz if it had liquid nitrogen and all the other mods that the P4 had

Do you know how many pipeline stages a C2D has? 14. The purpose of having a stupidly long pipeline is that you can move through each stage fast enabling you to ramp clock speed through the roof. If it takes 10ns to do the slowest step that determines your clock speed cap.

Jet do you have a link for the 5GHz C2D? That's probably getting close to the max speed of a C2D.

Wow that's impressive, we have a Swedish overclocking guru who got his QX6700 to above 5GHz.

Kinc - specifications - 23,777 3DMarks
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 @4920MHz at 1.7V, -110°C mousepot rev3
ASUS Striker Extreme
ASUS GeForce 8800 GTX @ 862MHz/2200MHz, cascade cooling
Corsair Dominators, 328MHz 3-3-3-5-1T
Silverstone 850W

Kinc seems to have found a real monster of a processor as the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor he used during the world record session was running at 4.92GHz and was later pushed to over 5.0GHz for a complete 3DMark06 run. To our knowledge it's the first time anyone runs Intel's quad-core processor at over 5.0GHz through an entire 3DMark06 run.
