Nice, but I wonder when people are going to get 8GHZ with realistic cooling... as in cooling that can be used permanently and inside.

It would need like 15GHz to beat a Conroe

Johnny Girth · 13 Feb 2007 at 09:16

The Conroe at 5.7ghz is more amazing definitely!

This time next year I wouldn't be surprised

I just hope the baddest chip has an AMD badge on it -I want them to do well and keep Intel honest.

Aint gonna happen for a while yet! Mobo need to get way better. Bearlake X38 might do it....

Why does that image of CPU-z not show the chip as having two threads? Isn't the 631 meant to have HT?

Amd having a good slash at all their cpu's

Its a good job I got my X2 4400 moved on just 2 days ago for 140 squids

and have seen them go for 165 squids can you believe it :eek:

Also, 8000Mhz != 8GHz ? (Unless im hopelessly confused again)
its 7.81Ghz?

Yep, you're hopelessly confused, 8000MHz = 8GHz.

Probably turned off.

The Laughing Ma · 15 Feb 2007 at 00:16

Lol turn off HT and get an extra 30Mhz, sure that made the difference. Very 'cool' overclock.
