Overclocker Pushes Intel's Celeron D to 8.20 GHz

[jfem]

Outstanding! I want to see the benchmarks, yes I want to see if it can tackle todays powerful cpu's like the i7's or even the powerful C2D's.

Global warming my friends, global warming.. hahaha.

8.20 Ghz!!!!!! Good God!

Anyway It's a celeron only 😉

Oh poor Celeron 😉

 

[archange]

OMGosh, dinosaurs still roaming free... 🙁

 

[mfarrukh]

WOW
And yes,It'll play CRYSIS

 

[hack__you]

Celeron is just a name. If that same processor was renamed Core I3, will you guys be impressed?

Intel's timing was kind of bad with Netburst. They stopped it at 65nm, while the next shrink had much lower power use, and that what was holding back the clock speeds.

Netburst on 45nm would have had extremely high clock speeds. This Celeron would have gone way past 10 GHz. I've always wondered what the stock speeds would be on 45nm, but I would think 6 GHz would have been very easy consider how much more power efficient 45nm was.

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

Meh. I'll be impressed when it's OVER 9000!!!

 

[cptnjarhead]

wow.. and i thought i was big stuff.. running my 939 opty 1.8ghz stock @ 2.7+ ghz.
And yes.. with a 4870 1g its play crysis very well.

 

[cptnjarhead]

uh... i mean.. It plays crysis very well...

It's nice and all but computers are built to last at least two years or more, not two days.

Good point.. pushing mhz like that just for bragging rights and no functionality seems kind of pointless.

 

[AtuBrian]

i dont understand if he would be able to post benchmarks if he was just going for a suicide run like he probably did so no benching to come

 

[bgd73]

overclock is absurd. My own crazy board recorded a 8152mhz with a 2.8e prescott..ya know what? it is resolution, not bandwidth. It is all so stupid...especially those falling for it. Let the electron collider go back to its contentment and respect the mutlithreadinmg and double data rates...that is the only bandwidth we really have.

 

[scryer_360]

Hmmmm, wonder what the 32nm process can do? I'd assume much better when properly prepped (such as with this Celeron D). Anyone feel like sacrificing a i3 for a noble cause? I don't think an i5 or i7 could do it, too many cores, too much heat.

Thread win, lock now.

GOD.... half of you ppl are just plain retarded.... No point in it?, the guy hit a world record.. whats the point in any world record?... FUN, doing something you enjoy and recognition of being the best at it.

the guy DID NOT overclock the computer to make a gaming machine... or even a functional computer. HE MOST LIKELY used the celeron because he had the most success with it..
why the hell would he take a core i7 if he cant get it to go as high.

 

[masterasia]

It shows dedication and talent. People admire this and this guy obviously enjoys the kudos he gets from doing it. It's exciting!

Dedication? Talent? It's trial and error.
Are there formulas that tell you how much voltage is needed? There are so many
variables when overclocking. One batch of CPUs can be different from another batch.
Ram is different too and come in good and bad batches too.
If he was dedicated and talented then he would be designing motherboards himself.

I don't have a lot of time and patience when it comes to OC'ing. I look up someone else's settings
and make tweaks to them. Saves me a week of Trail and Error that I can be using to do something
constructive like having sex with some finea$$ girlz.

[citation][nom]Bluescreendeath[/nom]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.[/citation]
*facepalm*
