INTEL STRIKES AGAIN WITH PENRYN
Tuesday at Intel developers forum Paul Otellini introduced Intel’s next generation 45nm quad-core Yorkfield cpu to the world in the best way possible by setting 10 world records in various benchmarks including an 8.4 second super pi 1m run and records in aquamark 3 and cinebench 10 32 bit. Charles “FUGGER” Wirth owner of xtremesystems.org was the man behind the scoresas he used his personal triple stage cascade cooling system to get the chip down to about -109 Celsius allowing it to overclock to 5.6 GHz.FUGGER is no stranger to world records as at least 1 of the records he broke belonged to him already (pcmark 05).
In contrast to the extreme cooling used the motherboard was an un-modded Intel X-38 board using ddr3 ram. this should be a very good indication of what the future holds.
