Another good story from the Chinese website Coolaler.com has come to my attention. It brings along some good news for the Intel followers. Intel's highest-clocked 45nm Wolfdale processor, the yet unreleased Core 2 Duo E8600 appears to have some great overclocking potential. Coupled with a DFI LP UT P35 motherboard, 4GB of DDR2 memory, single Radeon HD 4870 card, and liquid nitrogen (LN) cooling the E8600 CPU was able to reach 6146.9MHz (614x10). That compared to its default speed of 3.33GHz (333x10), and we might have a new dual core overclocking winner. According to the information available on the Net, when released the E8600 will cost somewhere between $266 and $299.

Nice, very nice, I've been biding my time for this chip.......
My face. Just. Melted.
And to think that was done on the higher up model of my motherboard..

w00ts .. inching closer to teh pentium overclock
Man...these C2D's are beasts.

bear in mind 8400s on a non well known motherboard name.
Yeah but imagine the 8600 w/ the same fsb. Although the wolfies may have caps right around there. A few weeks after release look for this to take the wolfie record I think.
Any SuperPI reading at that level?
by: mdm-adph;875718I don't think so, I haven't seen any bench like that run that fast. They don't boot at that speed either, they have to run setfsb, a little artificial if you ask me, but it's kind of irrellavant, as it's just for show. Highest superpi is mid 5ghz I think.

Wow! That makes me even more certain I want to pickup the E8400. Some of those 6ghz results were even on the E8400.
x2 on these Wolfdales are beasts!

That is amazing. Just pure domination. I bet we will see these beat the P4 GHZ for GHZ soon...
already has.
by: eidairaman1;875779hes talking about the 8GHz ;)
already has.
by: DOM;875786You mean 10GHz :rolleyes: Yeah right, you can keep it at 8 :p

by: DOM;875786Exactly. I wanna see it beat 8Ghz. It will by the end of this year... Easy.

by: PVTCaboose1337;875807i dont think so unless with 2v+

So nice to start to see the new 8600 ripping holes in the overclocking world. I cant wait till this chip murders the price on the other 8k series!
*6 months later*
"Whoo Hoo I just got a 8x00 and overclocked it to 4.xGHz for less than a $100!!!"

knowing intel, they wont.
by: DOM;875786a core 2 at 6 GHz easily outpaces a 8GHz P4.

also theres been a E8500 to 6283mhz on LN2 ;)
The WR on the E8500 is 6320.95 MHz

by: eidairaman1;875844Good lord -- and then some, I'm sure. There's got to be some sort of calculation where just the brute force of the 8ghz speed in the P4 still comes out on top, though -- something to do just with floating-point operations? Or is the core 2 top in everything at those speeds?
a core 2 at 6 GHz easily outpaces a 8GHz P4.

I think my Q at 3-3.2GHz is faster then the p4 on hwbot that ran at 7.8GHz got a 17sec some one
but he was talking about GHz not performance ;)

by: DOM;875810i agree look at the SS 6.1ghz at 1.8v i love core2's but oltae scaling is horrible.
i dont think so unless with 2v+
AMD's cant clock as high but the scaling imo is beter if you want to make something more stable bump it .5v and you can pull that off till the chips cap but core2's its lke after acertain mark its .5 next 50mhz .75 etc.
My 8400 is running at 8ghz...

More important than this fantastic acheivement, this could possibly see an 8600 hitting 5gig on good air......now that would really be something :rockout:
Exactly. It's not like everyone has liquid nitrogen laying around...
Speaking of which, where do non-scientific personnel obtain liquid nitrogen from? it's not like you can phone in an quantity
Alright, I think its time I built me an intel rig around this chip and a comparable mobo :D
Did you dudes notice how much RAM was used in this OC?
That much OC with 4 GB of RAM: WOW!!!

Pffft! LN - I'd be more excited if we saw 5GHz air or watercooled tbh. Impressive though.
E6600 redux :D
When do you think they will be for sale?
by: InnocentCriminal;876215yeah thats exactly what I was thinking. Although, there are a handfull of people thinking "Oh SWEET! i can DO that!"
Pffft! LN - I'd be more excited if we saw 5GHz air or watercooled tbh. Impressive though.
hell you need a single core P4 @ 4ghz to beat an Athlon 64 3200 @ 2ghz and well you need an x2 6400 3.2 to tie an E6550 so given the math kinda talking single cores of course here for logics sake 8.7 Pentium4 would equate rougly to a core2 @ 6ghz even if the core2 was in single core mode
that is below q6600 away , new best game chooser

My office has it ; ) So it can't be that uncommon.
Still I'll agree its "cheating". I'd be happy with a stable 4-4.5ghz on air : )
WoW amazing. First time ever I see 6Ghz of an OC. :eek:

That's so freaking true!
Really grinds my gears when I look at a CPU on eBay and they say it's a 4GHz AthlonXP 64 or something equally as retarded! :mad:
by: eidairaman1;875844I am sure an average C2D at 2.4Ghz easily outpaces a P4 at 8Ghz.
a core 2 at 6 GHz easily outpaces a 8GHz P4.
Much more is done per clock cycle. ;)
by: candle_86;876619With the caches on the Wolfdales, more gets done per clock cycle on an C2D than a X2 AMD. ;) If I am mistaken show me charts. :D
