2.2GHz Northwood at 3GHz

[Diable]

A Asian fellow(or it could be a Asian gal)has got there 2.2GHz Northwood to hit 3GHz aircooled(here's the link). Saddly the only benchs they ran were SuperPi, Sandra and CPUmark99. I can't wait to get my hands on a sub 2GHz Northwoods and do some overclocking, 3GHz air cooled wouldn't be to bad.

Linky no worky. I want to read this article though.

The multiplier is at 19. Hmmmmm

 

[GTaudiophile]

Cool! I want my Northwood!

hmm those asians use completel7y crazy cooling and up the fsb after the os has loaded to get as high as possible and then run benches hoping to god it wont crash and usualy have to try like 50+ times for it not to crash... ive seen 1.9GHz tbirds like this

There are quite a few reports of the AIRCOOLED 2.2 Ghz Northwood at 2.93 Ghz. Evidently, 2.53Ghz is routine.

MichaelD, the link works but the page is not in english.

Good lord, even if stability is a bit flaky it still speaks volumes about the overclocking monster that is the Pentium4.

especially considering they havent even moved it to .13 microns yet. sheesh

 

[Diable]

Train, the 2.2GHz is a .13 micron chip.

That must also be an engineering sample. They were able to bump it from a multiplier of 19 to 20. Retail CPU's will be multiplier locked. It's still an impressive overclock. Looks like their using an ASUS P4S333 and DDR333...SiS sweetness!

 

[ToBeMe]

Getting excited at the thought with reports like this!! I'm just sitting here waiting...................

Doh, I must be behind lately

imagine that sucker with water cooling

 

[rocmonster]

man, 3 gigs, solitaire must really fly on that rig.

Star is right. Its probably an engineering sample.


Besides, until the reviewers we all know start testing these suckers, I'm not setting down a penny.

Where can I download Solitairemark?

or if you believe Intel's PR, it would make surfing the internet faster. imagine how many pics like this you can see hehe

i dont think its an engineering sample, customized turbo pll chips are widespread among these japanese overclockers, with this chip they can set whatever multi and fsb they want.

THEY ARE CRAZY!
IMAGINE WHAT?
AFTER 5TO 6 YEARS , THEY WILL TRY TO RUN 10 GIG @ 15GIG!

The 2.2Ghz Northwood is available here in the USA at one retailer and also in Japan. It costs $679 right now.

They're crazy.... If this benchmark is true, it seems that AMD is losing his crown... :<

Thoroughbreds will win it back. In terms of non-overclocked performance, the Athlon is still king--especially for real world performance. I hate that godawful 20 stage pipe-line in the P4. Intel's engineering department is run by marketing monkeys.

I take offense to that. We have plenty of Intel engineers running around. Stupid comments like this one from you do offend these people. Grow up.

All you do is win a game and then count how many seconds it takes for the cards to roll off the decks. Heheh.

It works well for me.
