Core i7 965 XE Races Through to 4.20 GHz

[zCexVe]

It's high time to break the dogma. Core i7 965 Extreme, Intel's next generation flagship desktop processor based on the Nehalem architecture, does indeed overclock satisfactorily. IT OC Taiwan overclocked the chip, which sports an unlocked FSB multiplier, to a respectable 4.20 GHz, at a FSB speed of 200 MHz, and multiplier value of 21.0xFSB. A vCore setting of 1.72 V was used, which is above the danger-mark, taking Intel's own warnings into account. The CPU was aided by dual-channel DDR3-1600 memory operating at timings of 8-7-7-24. It provided a tested bandwidth of close to 16,000 MB/s. The CPU took 3DMark Vantage for a spin, with 3596.76 plans/s in CPU Test 1, and 32.87 steps/s in Test 2. The chip used in the attempt was an engineering sample.

Hehe, In two years next 32nm CPU is out and probably the CPU+GPU architecture.Dont buy a core i7 after two years.

yo Mr. V, what da hell, why there are only 32KB cache for L1?

even my Ath X2 4200+ also has 64KB L1 ne

& my L1 cache total is same as i7's L1 cache

So what's the problem?
Eg: Lamborghini Gallardo vs, Nissan GTR. 5000cc vs 3800cc. Which is faster? The 3800cc Nissan

You can compare caches in the same family!!! When everything else is kept "same", then more cache makes a slight difference.

Edit: Ah btw, even AthlonXP had 128kB L1

BTW, 1.7V or so in BIOS doesn't sound *safe* to me at all, not even to try once
