1055T bench 4.4 on air !

why ?

its a cpu thats stable on 4.4GHZ on air. its a cpu that will water cool to 4.6-4.8GHZ

its a cpu that doesnt cost the earth and will serve you as a gamer for years and leave you spare money for a top end ATi gfx card

Using turbo..
SO again.. Not really impressive.

How is it not impressive? I think turbo is a brilliant idea. It allows you to max out 1-3 cores on their own, when needed. Perfect for getting single core tasks done as fast as possible!

I'm so tempted to get one, but it might make 4.4ghz on air, but not for long unless these cores produce a lot less heat than my C2 does!

How'd you know?
I haven't seen a none turbo overclocked thuban yet.

Looking at the screenie of CoreTemp in that linked thread, it shows all six cores at the same overclocked speed (4.4GHz). I thought turbo downclocked three cores and bumped three up?

Maybe it's not got turbo on.

I don't look too much past first post until my 1090T's here.
 
Not even slightly surprising, current quad's rated at 125w will do 4-4.2Ghz with ease on air at low temps and on quiet aircooling, these have some added power saving things added, and most importantly, the extra die area the two extra cpu's take up. Its not 6 cores in the same space as before, its in 50% more area, which means 50% more space to transfer heat to the heatsink and the same overall TDP, meaning less heat per mm^2.

Another complete muppet of an overclocker, it never fails to make me laugh that people actually believe any old softwares temp readings. "ambient is 21c, cpu temp is 16c, amazing.... it might be wrong"........ might be wrong, breaks all the laws of physics and thermodynamics, or software isn't compatible with brand new hardware the software writer hasn't seen yet.

The chips to go for though, will likely be teh x4's with cores disabled, a hex core for, well assuming the cheapest hexcore is £145ish, quad core versions will probably run between £115-140.

Great chips to tide us over to Bulldozer/Sandybridge on the cheap, the $1000 Intel hexcore is such a worthless waste of cash for a chip when the architecture is about to be replaced but a £150 hex core to last till Bulldozer is very good value. Though most people won't see a difference and a cheaper quad or unlocked dual core are better value options.
 
If it will do 4.4ghz as a base clock, imagine how far it will go with turbo...

Assuming that this overclock is actually stable at 4.4ghz and the heat can be dealt with by air cooling that is.
