Overclocker Pushes Intel's Celeron D to 8.20 GHz

[exfileme]

An Intel Celeron D 347 processor was overclocked to a crazy-fast 8199.5 MHz.

YES!!! THIS CELERON WILL PLAY CRYSIS!!!

 

[Bluescreendeath]

No, Crysis likes dual cores. A single core clocked at 8GHz will play Crysis at high, medium resolutions and lowered AA, but definitely not VeryHigh/1080p+/AA > x4 or UltraHigh gfx with mods.

that gave me a good laugh!

 

[alvine]

I'm wondering about the vcore haha

With the proper graphics, it actually would.

Who cares? Its a Celeron at any speed!

 

[vulcan900]

TiN did not provide benchmarks to show how well the CPU performed at such a high frequency

May be its because of the instability at such frequencies. Also i really don't think it can even beat a core i7 processor.

 

[IzzyCraft]

it's a celeron D! lol by all means a bad performer but it's a very high freq none th less

They might have gotten the speed to record highs but GHz doesn't mean much when it's still a Celeron. Would've been much more impressive if they put that effort into an i7 or at least Core 2 generation.

 

[christop]

I am impressed..

Probably rivals what your house uses.

2.096VDC according to the screen shot.

That core voltage has me in shock. I have never even seen a voltage beyond 1.7v that didn't fry a (more modern) CPU.

if the cpu-z pic is correct. then its at 2.096v

Well done to who ever pulled it off. Wonder if they still have some of those "Golden" P4s floating around.

lol, you haven't done much have you: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/888121_shadow703793_cpu_z_core_2_e2180_2.0ghz_3800_mhz
E2180 @ 3.8Ghz with DIY Waterblock.

just another case of dressing up a pig in a skirt. i can make a 1977 cutlass supreme go 300 mph with a rocket straped to it. so what! still an unusable piece of hardware.

 

[fulle]

Why do people think Crysis scales past a 1.8GHz dual core?

How much money do nerds make overclocking CPUs like this?
To me, it's pretty pointless. Today, in real life situations, you'll probably never us a CPU overclocked that high. 4.0~4.2 Ghz is probably the norm for daily extreme overclockers. I have mine set around 3.6~4.0Ghz daily.

 

[itrendslave]

Yeah... I don't really see the point in "recreational overclocking". You can run that bad boy for 15 minutes before your liquid nitrogen stock is fresh out... then what? Back to 3.X or 4.XGHz, inevitably -- some stable speed that can be supported by regular water cooling.

...plus, it's still a celeron. He should upgrade his name to "PlatinuM" and step up to some core 2's.

[micky_lund]

hmmm...does he want to buy my old p4 at 3.2ghz stock?
id sell it for 35% of whatever he makes from OCing it...

It's not about making money, it's his hobby. Just the same as car modification.

Kudos! But not that much 'cause its just a single core. If this is done for a quad core then all I can say is "Oh hell yeah!".

 

[Parsian]

But Will it RUN the GRAPHICS on CPU rather than GPU?
