[TPU] Core i7 965 XE Races Through to 4.20 GHz

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.
1.72v? Hmm...

Why do we care. We want to see what an affordable cpu can do. Any CPU over 350 is way to much. Not that AMD is better but still. make the cpu affordable.

doesn't seem right, that and cpu-z is inaccurate. you can have a cpu at 2.2v and cpu-z will read it as 1.7v. none the less there is more hope for the nehalem then i thought.

Maybe it's inaccurate voltage readings?

it would have to be. at that voltage for such a low voltage 45nm it should be able to hit 5ghz with ease.
