Many CPUs have an FSB wall. Much like Conroes do (where lowering multi allows to expose it). That's why you see little scaling.

Another one bites the dust

9 seconds to go til the fastest 32M on s478

You lose almost nothing in performance, but on many CPUs you get higher clocks and/or better CB.

milestone!

wow, a functional set of OCZ Blade

I guess copywaza is finally useless for 32M on this one?

Le fuq?

This category seems to be German national sport :D

-60c for this? Wait what? Can you go above 320-330 MHz HTT at this temperature? I know there is a photographer in Basel who may have his jaw on the floor now

what a chip!

it's over 9000!

Lots of HTT / temp headroom there!

nice Celeron!

Just like that, fastest 1M Thoroughbred ever?

German Panzers 1-2-3-4

The amount of 70-point hardware categories is too damn high. You can literally have a dozen overclockers fill up their profiles with sixty 70pt scores without ever colliding on the same hardware. This is not beneficial for the quality of scores as you will never have enough active overclockers to fill up these categories and make them actually difficult. We spent 15 years working on former 50/67 point categories and still, some of those are actually easy to get #1 in. You might as well remove the requirement of 60 hardware scores towards global ranks as it no longer "proves the ability of a bencher to also excel on old competitive hardware" but rather "proves that someone wasted time and money on benching 6-8 semi-obscure categories without much quality requirement". This, and weird examples above where two shitty scores at stock clocks yielding more points than, say, #1 32M on E8600.

Fastest Palomino 1M ever!

Pentium 8505 when?

Dusan and James battling it out for the 01 WR. What is this? 2007?

I guess you can treat it as a quirk of ASUS 478 boards. P4P800 / P4C800 versions also share the BIOS between Deluxe/non-Deluxe, yet the boards are technically different.

inb4 these boards start selling for 200-300 Euros

1 point backups are the best backups

1:2 mem not possible?

3.5GHz+ Cinebench on phase is no joke for unlocked non-xAB1E San Diego. On LN2 this chip will easily hit above 4GHz. A very good find!
