Thread: The Intel Core i3/i5 Clarkdale exceeds 7 GHz ...

Intel launched its Core processors i3 as well as i5 "Clarkdale" there just a month. This future generation, which is being embedded on the Westmere micro structural design with the 32nm development process? And the most influential model, the Core i5-670 (dual-core) reaches a nominal frequency of 3.46 GHz as well as 3.73 GHz even with the Turbo Boost active. Recently, a handful of overclockers have passed the bar 7 GHz with the recent developed CPU. With a good amount of liquid nitrogen, Core i5-670 ES (Engineering Sample) CPUs, with 4GB of DDR3-2200 CL8 G. Skill and signed his favorite motherboard, the Biostar TPower I55. Upon successful attempt, the FSB was 259 MHz and the multiplier of 27. The voltage applied to the processor was 1.92 volt, a value considerably. The rest of the configuration consisted of a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5750, and a power supply Antec TruePower Quattro 1200 watt.

The previous generation quad-core Lynnfield, have not yet passed the bar 6 GHz. The current record is held by Hicookie with a Core i5-750 clocked at 5594 MHz. The latter also holds the record SuperPi 1M 5.944, obtained with a Core i7-670 boosted to 7099 MHz! As for Core i7 "Bloomfield", the LGA-1366 socket, the maximum frequency achieved to date is 6233 MHz.
