OC Team Italy does it again: 8180MHz !
Written by Andreas G 27 May 2007 19:29

It wasn't all that long ago we reported about the first result over 8GHz. It was OC Team Italy that had managed to push its golden Pentium 4 631 to 8001MHz. Well apparently they weren't happy with that as they've now managed to push another 179MHz to 8180Mhz.  Since the multiplier is locked they had to work with the FSB and push it to an incredible 545MHz. That's a 173% overclock, with a Pentium 4! During our Swedish Overclocking Championship we have similar results, but they are with Celerons running at 1.4-1.5Ghz stock. We congratulate ThuG and OC Team Italy for their amazing result and start to wonder if there perhaps is more than one golden Pentium 4 631...

I wonder how that cpu will fear against a 6800 xtreme or similar cpu...

No wonder it so hot these days

Unfortunately it doesn't

as clockspeed increases, general IPC decreases. reason being latencies between memory calls, and other delays aren't done any faster. Only portions that lie completely on the cache.

Quite a feat though
