What are your expectations for the overclockable Pentium?

[That Norwegian Guy]

With the Haswell refresh we're getting an OC Pentium, and I must say, I'm giddy for it. Mostly because it sounds too good to be true for a Minecraft server.

 

If an average chip doesn't reach 5.5Ghz on a decent motherboard I will be disappointed.

 

What do you think?

[ZetZet]

Going to be some unlocked i3.

[miyabwah]

I think you'll be able to overclock it, and someone will have to make a build with it and a Titan Black.

[AlwaysFSX]

I'm intrigued, but not excited. I do hope it's a great chip for the money though.

[WoodenMarker]

I expect to see some liquid nitrogen  B)

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I want it to OC until I get over 5GHz and a larger than average epeen.

[Hazy125]

I expect it to be able to achieve performance at somewhere between an i3 and an i5 (in some applications, hyperthreading on the i3 skews this a bit) with the same power consumption as an i3. So essentially, I expect it to have better performance (after overclocking) than the i3 while using less power than the i3. But what do I know, most people think I don't know about processors these days

Couldn't you use helium?

[ProKoN]

my expectations

 

great single thread performance

 

no need to delid or soldered ihs preferably

 

skus priced at 60.00 dollars or less

 

overclocking performance similar to 4th gen core  k series skus

 

@Jumper118 to take my highest cinebench single thread scores and re-open the space time continuum

I'm going for #1 Single Threaded too

ill buy a board especially for it

[magic]

It'll be heavenly for emulation and single threaded operations that scale with clockrate <3

[harrynowl]

I can't do that. I'll use a middle of the road board like a Z87 Sniper

[KamiKatze]

Couldn't you use helium?

 

Helium's boiling point lies around 4 Kelvin, so.... not really.   A friend of mine actually makes studies with super fluid helium

 

But to stay on topic: i hope it will sell for less than an i3. Like 80€ max. Then it's a good low price competitor.

Im also anticipating the return of biggie and pac when the black hole vortex has be relinquished

I need to learn to drive, get a car AND replace my failed fleet of hard drives before I even think about buying anything

[That Norwegian Guy]

Hope you can oc it like slot PIIIs... mine was running at stock at 500 MHz... but reached 1 GHz with some fans (the mb obviously couldn't support it...)

 

Best overclocker I ever had was the Core2Duo E8400. Still running at 4.4Ghz (it was 3.06 stock) on a small air cooling heatsink

 

Though I didn't particularly fiddle much with overclocking until the Core2Duo era anyway. Bet my 486 DX/2 was a golden chip and I didn't even know it

[TheProfosist]

All I know is I want it! there are somethings that I could use beast single threaded performance for.

[bcredeur97]

I so want to buy like 4 of them, and just run them at like a ridiculous overclock until they die then just swap for a new one when it does die. LOL

no I must keep it alive for the next 20 years so it can have its own 20 year anniversary.

[TheProfosist]

BTW I really like how itkk be a overclockable pentium and because of the z97 chipset itll get all the features but we still dont have a overclockable i3 again.

[Recon-UK]

Epic emulator cruncher.
