I wasn't impressed the first time and I'm not impressed now. Why didn't they do the test on 3DMark06?
To remove the GPU from the benchmark since it's the CPU they're benching. By using '05 they're not limited to what the GPU can handle when we're talking about ridiculously high frequencies like that. Seriously, you guys didn't know this?
seriously you have to be socially defected to care about 3dmark scores
especially since they optimizing drivers for syntetic tests rather than actual games where gfx cards will be used mainly
it's all became who sells how many by winning xtra points, pathetic really, at the end it all goes down to bsod and ctd coz particular driver has issues with particular game, no points in some syntetic test will change that
omg my cpu pwnzors your cpu by 1 billion points
boo fkn hoo
p.s. i wonder if gta4 will run at max with this cpu or future must 10k years from now

Defected?
In any case, it's not the 3dmark that is all that impressive, it's the overclock they managed to get with liquid nitrogen and helium. But I guess some people don't appreciate bleeding edge O/C'ing.
Oh we appreciate.. but it's hardly impressive when you consider the costs and methods. Liquid Helium is how much per gallon? That 40lb bottle they had was enough to cool the chip for thirty minutes? It's hardly a reproducable test or scenario.

Obviously not, and that's not the point. It's sort of like those cars in the salt flats etc. that take the speed record. Nobody in their right minds would do something like that, and could never afford to do it either, but it's still impressive.
