Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Breaks the 6 GHz Barrier

[DOM]

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

The WR on the E8500 is 6320.95 MHz

I just went by hwbot

i dont think so unless with 2v+

i agree look at the SS 6.1ghz at 1.8v i love core2's but oltae scaling is horrible.

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.

More important than this fantastic acheivement, this could possibly see an 8600 hitting 5gig on good air......now that would really be something

Exactly. It's not like everyone has liquid nitrogen laying around...

 

[Chryonn]

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

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

 

[SK-1]

When do you think they will be for sale?

yeah thats exactly what I was thinking. Although, there are a handfull of people thinking "Oh SWEET! i can DO that!"

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 : )

 

[..'Ant'..]

WoW amazing. First time ever I see 6Ghz of an OC.

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!

a core 2 at 6 GHz easily outpaces a 8GHz P4.

I am sure an average C2D at 2.4Ghz easily outpaces a P4 at 8Ghz.

Much more is done per clock cycle.

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

With 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.
