Yeah cant see the pic and cant click on it

Records are broken all the time, and server chips scale about the same as desktops - no new news there mate.

The i7 975 should break some nice records when it comes out.

I wonder what ram he's using because on one site I read they couldn't OC their i7 920 D0 past around 4ghz or something like that while using ram running above 1900mhz.

And he's running 5.7ghz with 1979mhz ram.

Well, the W3540 has a higher multiplier, so they can keep things like the bclk and ram at lower speeds relative to the core clock.

and another p4 hit 9ghz.

imagine overclocking a 28nm P4.

5.6GHz is not a record , the X4 955 hit 6.8Ghz and there are many more over 5.6GHz. Your in the Database, check it out
