Unbelievable

yea did you notice that its at 4.99ghz?
it'd be damned hard to get those types of clocks, even with a conroe.
in fact, i'd call it close to impossible. you'd need liquid nitrogen and even then it might not be stable.
besides thats superPi... we all know there are other better benchmarks out there :D

still it's possible. think of how it performs. even at, say, 4ghx it smokes ANYHING!!!
 
well you never know they overclocked a p4 to 5.46ghz before... at least thats the highest i heard of for a P4
they may have overclocked it to 4.99ghz but who cares lol theres no way i'm gonna waste hours in everyday just to cool a cpu like that... i mean 100% maintenance all the time. i'd rather air cooling and gameplaying :D apps arent even designed to run the cpu that fast! lol
personally, i'd rather put 4x 74gb raptors in raid 0. thats my kind of speed.
or two 7900gtx's in SLI volt modded and overclocked to 1ghz core 2.4ghz memory. (not gonna happen, this is a $465 card) haha

thats fine, just stop rubbishing everyone elses version of spped, some people here like to overclock, and have a need to overclokc, saying it is pointless and useless, could rub people up the wrong way *nudge* *nudge*

This is true but a P4 is NetBurst, Core is a P6 derivitive. Try clocking a Pentium 3 at 2GHz ;)

Core is an improvement on every aspect of P6 (as 3GHz can be achieved easily the pipeline is clearly much better..or at least fatter) but I still have trouble believing 5GHz
 
was that a P4? i know the record was higher than that, but i didnt know if it was a P4 or not.
i'll probably end up getting conroe in a year or less as well.. depending on what my cashflow is like, and my interests as well... college starts un sept. :)
 
Ya, that was the 3.8 prescott that some japanese guy OCed with liquid nitrogen, wouldnt even run windows past 6.1GHz, would only run BIOS past that.
 
have u not seen the 5000+x2 its a crazy prossesor its better than the fx 64 from what ive read so far and the way amd classes there cpu's is based on intel systems because they usually have lower gihz so a 5000+ would equal a 5 gig intel

Just because the name is the x2 5000+ does not mean it is equal to an intel P4 5Ghz! I can tell by your name that you just might be an AMD fan boy. I've been looking at both AMD and Intel's plans for their next gen CPU's and I do have to say that I am very suprised on intel's aggressiveness to take back the ground that AMD has taken from them.

Cheers to Intel I say. I'm tired of going to LAN parties and having a bunch of gay @$$ AMD fan boys talking crap because I'm running a P4:mad: . Both companies are good, it's just whoever gives u more bang for your buck.:D (which has been AMD lately)

pentium 3 = 180nm. HUH no wonder its hard to hit 2ghz with it. durr

actually a P4 at 5ghz would probably lose in multithreaded apps quite easily. probably most single threaded as well.
besides, they havent made a P4 at even 4ghz... because intel finally realized that frequency doesnt buy customers. :D

What other kind of processor could reach 7.6GHz...

Yeah, I know. Duck definately can't boot into Windows past 6.1GHz.

Pentium 3 also has process sizes .13µ and .25µ, not only .18µ like you stated.

Very. Edit: 1.33.1 version of CPU-Z doesn't have Core 2 Duo logos but the name should still be read right
Tell that to the reputable overclockers at XtremeSystems. They would love to debate you on your claims that it is fake.

P4's past 7GHz have been around for quite a few months now.

Where are you getting your information from, McDonalds?

The Athlon 64 X2 5000+ is 2.6GHz, which puts it on par with an Athlon 64 FX-60.

The process technology has more impact on power consumption/heat generation. Yes, that means you can clock it higher easier but a P3 wasn't exactly a hot box (29.5W on the 1.26GHz model vs 51.6W on a 1.3GHz P4)

In fact, the max clockspeed of a processor is directly dependant on how long it takes to complete the slowest pipeline stage

i think i pushed a 1.2-1.3 GHz P3 to 2.03~GHz before, then i blew the caps on my cheap ass volt modded motherboard :P
