Gulftown isn't outstanding until next year, but the manufacturing samples are by now hovering about. Luckily for the universal public, the overclocking marvel Shamino got his hands on one of these as well as determined to observe what this beast is competent of.

Shamino make use of LN2 cooling as well as managed to strike remarkable 6.4GHz (or else to be more accurate 6.386MHz). Note down but that the operating voltage was placed to a somewhat elevated 2.02V.

The system ran steady with the cores at 5.9GHz, as well as did one encircling in 3DMark Vantage Performance with somewhat a remarkable result. The microprocessor scored 55,177, which to several may not mean much, but you should be familiar with that the Performance Profile world record is at present 32,328 points, which puts Intel’s future ace unbelievable 22,849 points to the lead, which is interesting close to double.

Unluckily for AMD as well as its recently declared Thuban CPUs, this came just in time to indulge AMD’s declaration entertaining, not to state the reality that AMD will have a lot of work to do if Intel’s engineering example give any suggestion of the genuine performance.
