7 GHz Ivybridge OC (allegedly)

[lollyhayes]

It's almost 1.9V and there's no indication of how long the CPU will last at that voltage.

They may have reduced the lifespan of the CPU from years to a very short time indeed.

No, agreed, but what I meant was that the previous architecture (SB) hit a wall that could not be surmounted by increasing voltage, thus the 1.8v would be defunct as SB hits a frequency wall at a set multiplier that increasing vcore can't change.
By extension IB is simply a die shrink so should suffer similarly? Or is this a stupid assertion to make?

That said perhaps the new tri gates change this scaling somewhat?

It's a little more than just a die shrink.
They've allowed for a higher multiplier and they may have gotten lucky with the extra 12 BLCK who knows.

if only on more day to day use would be good

7ghz

1.8v!!!!!!!!!!!

Completely possible under extreme cooling...Which is what these big OC's generally are.

it's not like they're looking to run it 24/7

Hd4000 67% faster onboard graphics than hd3000 graphics,soon we won't need graphic cards

[King Damager]

That's impressive.... Although yeah, it would be interesting to know how sustainable that kind of voltage is...

I think to really judge this we need abit more info on the setup, as more than likely its not something which will be usable by 99.99% of us

I think it'll be a while yet based on the results.

Compared with last-generation products, HD Graphics 4000 really improved by a great deal in performance, however, when faced with low-end graphics card, it still had great pressure. Our tested NVIDIA GT 240 (GDDR 3) was a old low-end discrete graphics, surely it couldn’t defeat the existing new models, but it was not a difficult thing to beat integrated graphics.

If we only saw the 3DMark Vantage scoring of HD Graphics 4000, the performance was fine, which fell behind by 15% than GT 240. While in actual gamings, the gap was very obvious, HD Graphics 4000 couldn’t run smooth in Starcraft 2 and Farcry 2, it would be fine with the running of GT 240, and the frames of HD Graphics 4000 in most games was only half of GT 240.

It would be ok for HD Graphics 4000 to run some low-configuration requirement gamings, for the high requirement games, discrete graphics was needed to enjoy the gaming-play.

It's photoshopped badly.

Check the spacing between the 7 and 0 in the top red circle and then the spacing between the 7 and 0 in the bottom circle in red. Zoom in to see it.

I love how some people are determined to disprove this

It's not shopped unless sevens touch

Nicely adjusted phrase to fit the situation, I for one somewhat believe it a bit on the fence but if it's true awesome.

Though if it is shopped... what gain is there? Intel to drum up interest? Or this Anonymous overclocker to gain some length on his e-peen?

 

[Martini1991]

It's not even that impressive.
People astound me.

yes thats true but still a move foward on previous,great news for htpc builders

 

[=XDC=FluphyBunny]

As mentioned unless it was hitting 7GHZ on air/water 24/7 then its not a great achievement

Has to be shopped, CPU-Z always shows Level 3 chache as MBytes, not KBytes.
End of story...............move on peeps

My comment must have went over your head

speaking of extreme clocks, imagine for a second how high a tweaked, modern-process Prescott variant would clock, imagine the die size would be rather small as well considering the 90 nanometre Prescott chips were ~120MM2.

had a Intel 'Cedar Mill' for a short while and they clocked like mad, the single limiting factor was temperature, on a cold day they would just keep clocking. shame about their inherit lack of instruction per cycle, had a soft spot for Prescott, fantastic heaters!

No, it didn't go over my head...............just that the KBytes and MBytes mistakenly shopped is so obvious, i'm not shure why this thread is as long as it is.
