Early Yorkfield Action: 4.5Ghz+ On Air !!!

Holy cow!! Imagine that on water or phase-change. :eek:

Poor, poor AMD. Every time they gain a foot, Intel takes back a mile. I think the time of AMD being mainstream is over. I forsee that, for the next five years at least, Intel will be the choice for enthusiasts and mainstream OEMs (Dell, HP, etc.), while AMD is back to budget boxes and junk OEMs (Emachines, Acer, etc.). Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. :p

Then you end up with something like this:

Super_Pi_1M_5800MHz_7.797s.png
 
you guys realize that you're drooling over a benchmark done with a quad core processor that will do the same as a single core @ same speed.

=p
 
Holey crappo!!!:eek:
An OC' of 5.8 GHz on ONE core, let alone FOUR cores is VERY impressive (must be kinda super rare :rolleyes:)
Dyno-freaking-mite and thanks for posting nicepun. :)
 
Well, I know what I am buying in a year when I upgrade again.

Maybe with these CPUs we will finally be seeing 128 player servers for games. I heard BF3 is pushing towards 80 players at least.
 
I want a Yorkfield for X-mas!!
45nm, 12mb of cache, 4Ghz overclocks!!! yummy!

I just hope they release something besides the Xtremely Expensive edition before Q1-08. I won't pay $1000 for a processor that will be worth 1/2 that in a few months.

There's single-core Yorkfields? :confused:
Click to expand...

no :p but still it's funny that main bench they run is super pi, how about showing off yorkfields advancements like sse4 instead >__>? I'm sure rendering would be crazy fast on that machine, and you can actually bench it using all 4 cores then :D

or some supreme commander, we know how harsh that beast it =p

on the other hand, that is some nice ram :|
1.8xx ghz and 1T command rate :O
 
I would love to see what non es chips can do. The es e6750's were notoriously good overclockers but the retail ones didn't preform as well.

edit: I Just noticed the voltage... WTF, what are his temps? Did he confuse ddr2 ram and cpu voltage...

You realize with AMD out of the equation, you'd have a one-company monopoly. You do not want that. It is the intense competition that pushed the development of Core2Duo. If you lose that competitive edge....welll...let's just say you, as the consumer, lose!
 
yeah, and here AMD is struggling to manage 3.0Ghz on their new 65nm part. Seems they're really struggling with the change to 65nm.

None the less! AMD is compitent and, I'm sure, granted enough time, will make a come back!
 
Holy shit. This is history, a 5.8Ghz CPU on a desktop platform. Stable as well, holy cow...I'm not one to drool over a peice of computer hardware, but holy mother of all that is intel, that is insanely fast! I'd like to launch internet explorer 7 on that machine :)

Are you kidding? We all know Extreeme edition price drops are few and far-between. ;)
Your purchase will be justified for years to come! lol

Anyway, if these kinds of results are true across the board for 45nm's, them I'm very glad that I'm holding out for them.

AMD doesn't go out of the equation. They just got slapped back to their proper place: in the back seat. :p
 
Nice! Come March (that's when a new computer gets built for me), these will hopefully be a little cheaper.

Hmm...Yorkfield + G92 + FW-900 = :eek:
 
I recall hearing about e6600s hitting 4+ghz on air, sadly they were engineering samples and I dont expect 4ghz+ out of these chips because of that.
 
I'm not sure why everyone thinks AMD has much of an issue here. The enthusiast market only makes up a small share in sales (and the oc market, even smaller).

So unless Intel starts releasing these at 4Ghz out of the box, AMD was in the same situation they were before...Although its not very good then either...

With that out of the way.

Wow...I am very glad I was right about waiting for Penryn. But then again, maybe the Q6600 will plummet even more than it has in 08'.
 
Chrome > Alloy
4,000 Megahertz > whatever AMD's got out

If intel gets these chips out to the public with a set speed of 4Ghz, AMD will have more hard times...

More hard times = BK

Even so , AMD faces the real possibility of going BK if some wonder doesn't happen.
 
However, P35 dosent sport PCIe 2.0, which is a big thing if you want to upgrade to a better video card in a couple years and not change our your mobo.

Well, if my understanding was correct, and nothing's changed in the last few weeks, in 2009 there should be a new socket and everything from Intel, no? If so, I'll just be hoping on that bus, so it shouldn't much matter.

I guess 2009 might introduce Nehalem... not really sure on that. But thats about 2 years away. You might as well go with X38/X48 or wait for Eaglelake early next year. Rock out with PCIe 2.0 and 45nms for a few years till the new tech is proven.
 
Man, it's gonna be tough finding a mobo that can take the lowest end Yorkfied (with 12 MB cache) up to those clocks. You'll need 563 Mhz FSB to hit 4.5 GHz on an 8x multi lol. I'll be glad even to hit 4 GHz though it'll be painful to know theres possibly more untapped juice in it.

I don't understand why only the $1k CPUs have unlocked multis. Their stock multi is usually high enough to max out the CPU's potential without unrealistic FSBs (though the CPU here had its multi bumped up to 10x, which seems like a great help).

That would be LGA 1366
 
Are those pictures really? One thing impressive about QX9650 is at 4.0Ghz, its CPU temp is merely 39C and voltage is only 1.4v. Think about the OC potential. I would certainly consider getting one since Extreme uphold its original price pretty well unlike AMD's FX series.

Why didn't Intel just set the stock speed of QX9650 to 4.0Ghz since it can take low temp that well?
