V. Overclocking

Stock Settings
For benchmarking, I will use the data when I first run the system on stock settings. The stock settings will serve as the baseline for comparison for the overclock score. I will also compare the previous generation of processor for better perspective of how this processor scales.

Note that all settings here are on automatic, with the RAM frequency running at higher than CPU system bus. I didn't tweak this to run at 1:1, as the RAM is able to sustain such high speed. The only change done here is to push the FSB to achieve a the overclock.

As is the case for the stock and overclocked settings, all benchmark results will be acquired from three(3) runs, removing the highest and lowest score, but not averaging the total score of the three. This limit the number of random peaks of scores, and hopes to reduce the number of random unusual results. There will be no online submission of score because of time constraint and software limitation.

The results is really beyond any of my wildest dreams. Even competing CPU overclocked at the same settings will have a hard time going on par. May I add that this is done with just the stock cooler and yes, stock voltage. The overclocking potential of this baby is amazing, and it's just a very early revision. Expect better results with retail or later ES steppings.

If this isn't awesome, I don't know what is. And this processor is even expected to be retailing at just less than $200.
