Gopher, re: Nitrogen cooled processors&#133 On the face of it, the numbers look very good (1.8GHz for Tualatin, 2.8GHz for P4), but as has been said many times before on this thread, nitrogen-cooling doesn't really reflect how a chip will scale. Still, I wouldn't mind a dual 1.8GHz Tualatin server in my basement ;-) (I wouldn't want it in the living room or study, though) -fyo

Re: P4s hit 2800MHz liquid nitrogen cooled, Tualatin 1825MHz The P4 reporting 2.8GHZ ran the bench he uses in 1 minute 7 seconds - about the same as and AthlonMP at 1.45GHZ. It may have been clock throttling, since a P4 at 2.4GHZ completed the benchmark in 1 minute 3 seconds. AthlonMP at 1.6GHZ completed the benchmarks in 56 seconds. On Bunny's website (may be a different version of the benchmark) the fastest listings are for an Athon at 2.3GHZ running SuperPi in 55 seconds tied with an AthlonMP at 1.8GHZ. Fastest P4 needs 1 minute 7 seconds and is running at 2.6GHZ. Another interesting result is: Running Tualatin, Athlon, and AthlonMP all at 1.13GHZ and all at 133FSB * 8.5 (times in seconds) Tualatin=1'43" Athlon=1'42" AthlonMP=1'29"
