New world record processor frequency: old Celeron storm over 8.3GHz

Latvian player "TaPaKaH" recently overclocked an old single-core Celeron 352 to an incredible 8.3 GHz or more, breaking the world record of processor frequency for more than a year.

Celeron 352 was released in the second quarter of 2006, more than five years ago, under the codename Cedar Mill, 65nm process manufacturing, LGA775 package interface, single core, clocked at 3.2GHz, secondary cache 512KB, front-side bus 533MHz, thermal design power consumption 86W It was sold for $40 that year. The NetBurst core architecture of this series of processors caused the Pentium 4 to be in a sea of ​​difficulties, but the overclocking potential is amazing. It has already monopolized at least the top ten world records of the processor frequency, all above 8GHz, the previous record is Celeron 360 Up to 8242.45MHz.

Today, this C1 stepping Celeron 352 has raised the frequency to 8308.94 MHz, the FSB 346.21MHz, frequency multiplication 24x, front side bus 1384.82MHz, and core voltage 1.984V. The motherboard that is compatible with this is the ASUS P5E3 Premium (X48+ICH9R chipset). The memory is a single pirate ship, 1GB DDR3, with a frequency and timing of 577MHz@8-9-9-24.

In order to achieve this crazy frequency, TaPaKaH uses a very low temperature liquid nitrogen cooling system, and the best grease Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme, but the processor is very short at 8.3GHz height, passed the CPU-Z certification but Did not have time to perform any performance test.
