4Ghz CPU Power - Overclocking the P4

Quote:

We take a brand new Pentium 4 3ghz with a 800Mhz FSB, put it into the ASUS P4C800 and hook it all up to a Prometeia system. How does it perform in everyday applications? Find out in this article on future CPU power

nice one JMke,
thx for the help :p

cooperation kicks *** =)

The SuperPi benchmark favours the AMD's FPU and for Intel to come on par you really have to push both the CPU and memory to the maximum: lets see how our P4@4ghz handles it

Doesn't it has to be CPU instead of FPU ? Don't shoot meh if i'm wrong ^^

Great article :super:

nope, FPU = Floating Point Unit

Quote:

An floating point unit (FPU), also known as a numeric coprocessor, is a microprocessor or special circuitry in a more general microprocessor that manipulates numbers more quickly than the basic microprocessor your computer uses. It does so by having a special set of instructions that focus entirely on large mathematical operations. A floating point unit is often built into today's personal computers, but it is needed only for special applications such as graphic image processing or display. Personal computers that don't have floating point units can sometimes handle software that requires them by installing a floating point emulator.
Floating point numbers are numbers that are carried out to a certain decimal position (such as 2.17986). They are stored in three parts: the sign (plus or minus), the significant or mantissa which is the digits that are meaningful, and the exponent or order of magnititude of the significant, which determines the place to which the decimal point floats. Floating point numbers are binary (expressed in powers of 2).

AMD's FPU has been better then Intel's since the first Athlon K7 was released
before that the AMD K6 was beaten by the PII and PIII =)

that's why the AMD's are better at SuperPi and Folding@Home: a better numeric coprocessor, good with numbers :)

didn't knew that one :p

thnx for teh info :)

Doesn't your Asus P4C800 gives problems with Prometeia?

In my case the board gave and eror on boot process, seems can't take the reset pressed for a long time - until Prometeia reachs -33ºc ..

yep, same problem.
any idea how to fix this ?

:hello: Pedro Rocha

Welcome to the forum !

i am going to do something loike this on my new rig i'm building, i will have all the parts in by june, i am getting an apoen motherboard, the limit is 1600MHz FSB i am going to try to overclock as much as possible :D if it reaches 400MHz (1600MHz) them i will be running at 6Ghz :D, sum how i dought i will go that high thou.... maybe 5GHz....
