New Intel processors - new world overclocking records from Russian enthusiasts
Less than two weeks left before the official launch in the sale of new top processors from Intel. Engineers of the processor giant have prepared for users a top-end version of a six-core processor, which will be called the Intel Core i7 980X . The letter X means the extreme version, and this bears two news at once. Good - the processor will be awarded a free multiplier, which is only good for overclockers. Bad - the cost of the processor can exceed $ 1000. A team of OCClub.ru enthusiasts managed to buy an engineering sample of the processor in Europe, and it cost us even more than $ 1000. Three weeks of waiting for delivery, and now we are ready to please habrozhiteli immediately a scattering of world records:
We managed to get an absolute record on one Sapphire Radeon HD5970 graphics card in 3DMark05, world records on the Radeon HD5870 in 3Dmark05, 3Dmark06 and AquaMark3.

The six-core Intel Westmere processor is a server version of the desktop version. The differences between the versions of each other are the names of the cores: for the server ones - Westmere, for the desktop ones - Gulftown, and also that Westmere, as befits the server processors, can work in a pair on a two-socket motherboard.
Test bench:
- Intel Westmere ES processor
- EVGA Classified 760 motherboard (modified to support Westmere)
- RAM 32Gb DDR3 Corsair Dominator GTX2 2250 MHz CL8
- video card Sapphire Radeon HD5970, XFX Radeon HD5870.
- cooling system: LN2 Pot klngln F1EE, LN2 VGA Pot Tek9 Slim 5.0
- cooling: liquid nitrogen.
On the Radeon HD5870 video card in 3Dmark05, it was possible to get a result of 47606 3DMarks. The clock frequency during the test was fixed at 6096 MHz. The 32 nm technical process gave a good increase in frequency compared to the old Core i7. The video card, like the processor, was cooled with liquid nitrogen. The temperature on the processor during the test was maintained at -150 degrees Celsius, and the video card was enough for -120 degrees for stable operation at the specified frequencies.
3DMark06 also had a strong result - 36020 3DMarks (I would even say very strong for a video card with a single GPU). The main difference between the brand of the sixth year and the fifth is to support multithreading. Therefore, the increase in the increase in the number of cores is very noticeable in the CPU test. If the processors on the Bloomfield core used to get 10,000 points with great difficulty, now we got 12,746 points for the CPU test.
Aquamark3 is so old a test that it cannot fully load a video card. Therefore, the basis of a good result in this test was a bunch of processor-memory. The result of 426,279 points is not only a record among this model of video cards, but he managed to beat even such two-headed monsters like the Radeon HD5970 and GeForce GTX295.
Well, in the end, perhaps the most delicious. The new processor allowed to overstep a beautiful milestone of 50,000 points in 3DMark05. The result obtained on the Sapphire Radeon HD5970, overclocked to 1000/1150 MHz (core / memory), was 53025 3DMarks. It is of particular pride that so far only I have managed to overcome such a transit point in Russia. But I hope that in the near future my friends from the team will catch up with me.
Special thanks to my friends: Donny for help in organizing, Smoke2009 for a joint bench session.
