SuperPi time in 10.5 sec at 4918.7MHz.
1178.9MHz FSB.

That's awesome. good find

Woah. What is achieveable on air with a Kentsfield?

 

[CyberDruid]

Right after the price drop I expect many of us will have those in our boxes...it'll be interesting to see what we can do.

 

[Ninja_Boy]

I'm considering getting a Kentsfield with my R/RD600 Build. I'd have to change the name from Core 2 Duo / DirectX 10 to Core 2 QUAD / DirectX 10. I like the second one better, anyways.

Wow thats pretty impressive

 

[lightsource]

Crazy!!!

 

[DuckieHo]

The big question now.... Will 8800GTX SLI still be bottlenecked on it?

 

[MADMAX22]

actually was that all four cores or was that with 2 or 3 od them disabled, i didnt see it anywhere in the article

still pretty good

More than likely. It wouldn't surprise me.

 

[kagaos]

Thats a good speed to compete with the new DDR ram coming out!

How would you disable a single processor or individual cores on the Kentsfield?

 

[nightdagger]

I've been waiting to find out what the all-out record is for Kentsfield. That's amazing.

 

[DuckieHo]

What's the current Conroe record? Kentsfields are just two of them next to each other.

 

[Wankerfx]

Current conroe record was done on XS. I believe it's 5.5-5.7ghz.

SuperPI doesn't use multiple cores. A single processor with the same clock speed, FSB and cache as a dual or quad core processor will all get the same result (OK, maybe the dual/quad core will get a slightly better score because they have other cores to handle Windows and others threads).

 

[MADMAX22]

yeah i know that im talking about the oc, you can disable the other cores somehow atleast thats my understanding, either thru bios i think please correct me if im wrong, i am jsut wondering because i would like to know if all four cores are being oced or jsut one since that may make a difference to people liek us that like a stable 24/7 oc most of the time

All four cores are being OCed. There is no way to disable any of them currently.

 

[selectodude]

With the Conroe cores, because of their 4MB shared L2, disabling one core basically gives the other the ability to load the entire SuperPI app into cache, which is why these chips killed the records so badly when they came out. With Kentsfield, the 8MB L2 isn't shared. It's split in two. Disabling more then one CPU wouldn't do anything.

not to single you out selectodude but your all missing my point, i dont care about the pi score and thats not what i was asking/talking about, i was talking about its ability to oc and how this may change if all corew were active or if some were disabled not whether it would effect the score of a 1m run or something
