Been playing around with a lovely intel Extreme CPU today.
Had to mash out the specs for the sake of NDA but it certainly looks rather special

May i ask what nda means?

I suspect that the OP has the Core i7 990X.
Waste of time releasing anything better (more expensive) than i7 980x, what Intel need is a mainstream 6 core.
Intel always have a $999 CPU, if this is a new Extreme CPU
it shall just replace the current 980X at same price.However this new CPU is not due until Q1 next year, but it seems like one very fast CPU.
Cannot say what it is however you cant argue that it clocks.

Is it something exciting like a new stepping, or just a gulftown with a higher stock clock and a bit more Intel GHz tax?
I can if it's only stable as long as you don't open Word or if it requires liquid nitrogen to get that high.

stepping is still B1 (same as retail 980x) well atleast on the ES chips. What cooling andy ?

Ran through a couple of loops of vantage on a set of 480s so itll hang stable around that clock minus a few mhz perhaps and cooling dependant.

32nm, 6core, I bet that's rather quick!
Nice CPU for the low (ish) voltage... Doesn't matter what combination of multi and base clock you use it caps out at about 5.45ghz with volts sat at 1.5v vcore. Restricted to 1.5v due to cooling. With a little TLC and a stronger board (p6T deluxe v2 not exactly suited to this) with better power delivery this should turn out to be an all in all good chip.
Id love to get some more extreme cooling on there with a board that has 2x 8pin EPS to ensure power delivery is nice and stable. Test board has been around in some form or other since the release of the original i7s in winter 2008. There are better units available now so I shall see if I can get a better result using something a little more substantial.

well, using common sence and looking at clock... only suggestion that comes to mind is.... phase and w/c for mobo
P6T Deluxe V2. Hence the need for a better board. Something like an MSI bigbang xpower, rampage 3 extreme, ud9 or classified 3 would be ideal.. I shall see what I can do if I can play some more
