Intel processor - two overclocking records from Russia
Many of you may have noticed that the OCClub.ru team likes to mock computer iron by cooling it with liquid nitrogen and drinking out "unnecessary" microcircuits. But today it will be a little about other class of iron, namely about server processors from the Intel company.
I think that many of you have heard, and perhaps have seen, Intel Xeon processors . Their main trick is that they get along together perfectly in one system, creating whole clusters and in the end powerful supercomputers!
And I want to surprise you with the frequency at which these processors are capable of working! The brand new Intel Xeon 5677 processor (which is 4 cores on the 32nm process technology) was able to conquer the 6GHz threshold !

Intel has kindly provided us with an excellent opportunity to test the overclocking potential of engineering samples of Intel Xeon server processors. We could not miss such a chance, so two members of our team went straight to the office of Intel. There they were met by representatives of the company, and brought them a whole pallet of processors.
10 pieces of absolutely identical externally processors, but so different in overclocking)
There are obviously more processors in the photo, but Smoke could not resist taking a picture with such a bunch of processors!
Since Xeon is server processors, they decided to test them for multithreaded applications! For overclocker there is such a favorite test utility called wPrime. It uses the computational power of each core, and therefore, with an increase in the number of cores, the speed of calculating an arithmetic function is rapidly growing.
Test bench:
- Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboard
- RAM Corsair Dominator GTX2
- Nvidia GeForce 9500GT graphics card
- power supply Antec TPQ 1200W OC edition
- WD 160Gb Raptor hard drive
So, let's begin:
The processor was able to withstand the load on all 4 cores and therefore 8 threads at 5885 MHz. It is at this frequency that the processor was able to calculate the wPrime for a value of 32 million decimal places.
The result was 4.031 seconds. This is a world record in the quad-core processor category. I'll tell you a secret, but we managed to split even 4 seconds - a kind of psychological line. But we are not in a hurry to lay out our result to the judgment of world overclockers, since we are so far the first!
In order to calculate the result to 1024 million decimal places, the processor takes more time, namely 131.047 seconds. And this is again a world record in this category. Again - we managed to split 130 seconds!)
I want to thank Intel for understanding the problems of overclockers and all assistance to our team!
