Thats one intense overclock and I'll be reading the full article, when I get home.

Pretty awsome clock. Judging by the voltage they ran (only 1.9v) there's more in the CPU too. Maybe we'll see them break well into the 8.xx range in the near future - CPU's not coldbugged either which is helping them out loads. Great results

What's a penitum btw?

DougEdey · 24th Jan 2007, 15:47

What was their Pi time?

zoom314 · 24th Jan 2007, 16:12

omg cubed.

Tyinsar · 24th Jan 2007, 16:16

but I wonder what the total power usage is now - that's got to be expensive to run (not that that's the point).

omg 8Ghz

nice....

on to the 10Ghz barrier

sadffffff · 24th Jan 2007, 16:36

would be cool to see benchies against a core 2 duo, to see if the raw ghz make up for the architecture

teamtd11 · 24th Jan 2007, 16:36

Thats flipping amazing

HugoB · 24th Jan 2007, 17:15

Now lets get this in a retail kit

Mankz · 24th Jan 2007, 17:18

screw LN2....

we demand Liquid Helium!!!

i saw the full article over @ XS a couple of days ago and its a sight to behold.

also notice that they are using a 631 or something, not a huge 670 or the like..

yep, that makes it all the more impressive - you don't need such a high bus overclock with a 670

Mankz · 24th Jan 2007, 18:34

but also, those 670's were all 90nm right ??

so even though they have to go a further 800Mhz, it should have a lower TDP at 8Ghz when compaired with a 670 at that..

not that TDP really matters when you've got a 631 at 8Ghz....
