EDIT: In March, the 1.4 P3 will be replaced with a 1.53/512kb P3 accelerated to 2GHz. It will also have an Ge-Force 4 Ti 4600.


Sound good? Well, they told me that they will have only 2 in stock but can get more. The price on this baby is $10,000 CANADIAN with 5 year warrenty.

According to them, it will beat any other Intel setup on the market including there own 2GHz Pentium4 O/ced to 2.2GHz. They also say, this setup can acheive over 10,000 points in 3Dmark2001, (I dont believe! thou)
If true, this would be a nice system to have eh?:rolleyes:

[SteenkyBastage]

are you sure they aren't pulling your leg?

Afreey doesn't have any 25xdvd or 100x cd (at least according to them).

maybe prototypes, :)

[Burning Phoenix]

I don't believe it either and i'm an intel fan. Can you find a link for us or a scan of an advertisement? Something?

[OC-Master]

I dont know either how they would get ahold of that new 25X DVD, but I do know that there supposed to have a demo PC setup in the front room on the 7th so I guess we will have to wait till then!

I wouldnt hold past that they have an un finished product and that they wont get the parts for the 2 systems in till the 7th, that could be more accurate??:rolleyes:

[OC-Master]

Here's a pic of the 25X DVD-Rom also a 100X CD-Rom.

I will repost,
look below for pics,
this forum is messed up cause the pics wont come up!

Ummm, where's the pics?:rolleyes:

All you have is your statement, no pics or links to the pics.:D

[funnyperson1]

the 1.4 tualatin isnt out either....but looking at that setup it looks like it could crush any Athlon system as well....remember that the PIII wasnt as far behind as the P4 was...id spot a PIII 150mhz before it starts beating an Athlon, and this one has 512cahce....if i could get my hands on this com,puter i woul do anyhting....

[Pinky]

The statement that it would be fast is not understatement since that 512kb of cache will accelerate the 3dMark score and that 166mhz bus, forget about it :P !!

[ol' man]

The 512k cache tualatins usually beat the tbirds in most apps. I would hate to see what a 166fsb would do to it with the cache running running 1833MHz.

[Yodums]

It does sound good but some stuff in there are too good to be true..

How much is this? 2gz? :p

[UnseenMenace]

*** Moved to Myths ***

A wise man once said, if its to good to be true, it probably is !!!

Wait for the Benchmarks and exceptionally high price quote because you will probably need such power to calculate the interest charged on the loan required to buy it :D

[SteenkyBastage]

man, took me 20 minutes of browsing before i realized there is no "myths" section.

Urrmmm.. from my best judgement, that setup should be able to hit 12000- 13000+ 3DMark 2001 score or go through the roof. I doubt it will do 10000, too low for it hehehehehe..

More ..

13K has already been hit to my knowledge.

[MilkPowder-2]

Oh!!??.. you changed your nick again. hehehehe..... well have fun. I'm planning to change mine as well. =)

[Yodums]

Yea well I would get the occasional "Damnit *Insert original name as they knew me here* you change your name more than I change my underpants!"

[D2DM]

There's a minor error in there somewhere..

You state:
1.40Ghz P3.. that means 1400/133=10.5 multiplier.

And that can't be: 11x166.66=1833mhz

(it would be around 1750mhz)

[OC-Master]

11 x 166.66 = 1833.26

10.5 x 133.33 = 1399.965

I think there's something wrong with your calculator:beer:

Your thinking 10.5 x 166.66 = 1749.93

The multiplier must have been bumped up to = 1.83GHz;)

[MilkPowder-2]

Before any further confusion occurs, please answer the following questions. Must answer all of them. No miss.


1. State clock multiplier and Default FSB@ 1400mhz according to the system you posted above.


2. Is 1400mhz default speed?


3. Is this special P3S Prototype? Multiplier changable?



Possible conclusion: If it's not multiplier changeable, either you are confused or the person who sells/advertises that system is confused. Please be clear so there will no longer be confusion. :D

[6502kid]

And it wont be ready until Jan 2002 !?!

Ha !:p

Mines not quite as fast, but it only cost be about 1200-1500
bucks or so 3 months ago for this rig. Incl. 19" monitor.

And some people told me I spent too much on it....:beer:

I got 512k L2 cache, 133mhz default fsb, 9.5 mult. and
this thing will run over 1400 easy without any increase
on the vcore.

:D :cool: :D

The CUV266 is not a i815 B-stepping board, They would need the B-stepping to get the Tualatin to even work.:eh?:

[6502kid]

It's not only too good to be true, its too expensive
to be good !:rolleyes:

As for cheaper?

Uh well that is your opinion and do you really want to get into it with me about this? Things have changed!

[MilkPowder-2]

I knew something like this is gonna happen. Hey Im neutral. I own both. LOL

You beat me to the punch...I do believe that all Asus boards that support Tualatins have a "T" in the naming scheme. Why not put dual Tuallys in the Iwill DVD266u-RN and pop up the fsb.

[JetMech]

Heck fellas if the parts for that thing are available we could build it ourselves and save at least $5,000 dollars :eek: .

[OC-Master]

Hmm,

I called them up yesterday asking about the motherboard non-tut thing and they told me that the motherboard is equiped with an adapter that converts fcpga to fcpga2. Hmm, interesting!

Anyway, the processor is a 1.4GHz P3-T with 512K L2 Cache! THEY DO EXIST!:D

[Maximus Nickus]

HOw can that get such good scores? I'm confused as its only 1.8Ghz

[mikester]

the 512k or cache with a 166 FSB in a p3 core (very good core) is what would probably do it!

add that to the gf3 ti500, loads of ram, fast mobo with great chipset, and a speedy HDD, and youve got your 13k!!

[ThePunkGeek]

i not a huge intel fan but i would like have that system :O

[MadMan007]

My only question is: why bother with the DDR and a Powerleap adapter?? The extra bandwidth of the DDR is wasted on a P3, isn't it? And the Powerleap IMO would make the OC less stable. Just get a Gigabyte Tualatin board and then you can have the proper PCI dividers too...still, nice idea with that system, it would rock.

I doubt it, 13k???? No way.

The rigs just not fast enough, maybe 2.5Ghz and a 8500 would do it.

[pacino]

Wihtout going too much into details, P3's ain't faster than a P4's in first place! :)

[Al Capone]

my work is done here :cool:

[SteenkyBastage]

correction:

p3's cant pull as many mhz as a p4 in the first place.

if you have equal mhz processors, the p3 owns the p4.

[BigRed]

dude
that computer (overclocked of crouse) will own a northwood 2.2ghz

[funnyperson1]

im with Bigred and Steenky........a PIII does much more work clock per clock and this system would whoop any Stoc Northwood system....of course with cooling like this i have a no doubt that a Northwood 3.4 is pretty much unapproachable by any cpu out there:D

[OC-Master]

Ah, I was there yesterday, OH BABY!, they got one in the main lobby running and its SO NICE!! It's loud as hell but I dont care anyway.

They said that in March, it will come with a Ge-Force 4 Ti 4600 and a newer 1.53GHz Pentium3 with 512KB L2 and it will be accelerated to 2GHz. A 2GHz Pentium3!!!

The price on this system is $9,499.99 CAN.


AXIA

[MaxFSB]

That 1.40 PIII-S looks sweet... waiting till I can get my hands on one. Still no sign of them on pricewatch or the usual CPU vendor sites. If anyone knows where to get one please PM me or post the info, thanks.

[Goku008]

first of all athlon xp 1.66 on a kt266a mobo with geforce4 will eat that system in 3dmark2001. Second of all pentium cant make good processors even apple beats them. When pentium does make a good processor that can do somethings that an athlon can its costs an arm and a leg.


Athlons are beasts!!!:D

Athlons are beasts!!!:D

obviously it will eat this system....geforce3 isnt even out yet....and the PIII and the Athlon are about the same clock/clock, you are talking about the Pentium 4 big difference.....trust me this is a beastly system that would crush any Athlon....

[Goku008]

Where did u get the idea that p3 is as fast as an athlon xp or even a regular T-bird. The only thing that p3 processors can compete with is durons. I have never seen a p3 get a better score in 3dmark2k, 3dmark2k1, or sandra bm ever!!!

Here is some examples of wut my athlon does, show me p3 or p4 that can do that:eek:

http://goku0080.tripod.com/mypc/id19.html

[funnyperson1]

ummm Goku did you see that this PIII in particualr has 512 cache.....thats more than any cpu except P4 Northwood.....check out these benchies where a PIII outclasses an Athlon....and the Athlon is using DDR

[Goku008]

Ye and in all the bm athlon beat p3, and plus i only trust real life bm like madonion where ppl post their scores. I came to figure that most of these sites like tomshardware have mostly fake or hiped up scores. And another thing, Q3A is optimised for pentiums.

this is wut i go by and sandra.

Don't be a fanboy. Unlike the saying, ignorance is not bliss.

I like AMD right now for their proce/performance, but a dually PIII-S @ 1.75 (166MHz FSB) would most likely beat an XP 2000+, even in single-CPU tasks. With an SMP OS and multi-tasking, it would own...

true, but why not compare something more similar... like dual oc'ed mp1800+'s to dual oc'ed p3's?

[funnyperson1]

a 512 PIII clocked at 1.83 would crush any available Athlon and thats all im trying to say.....Goku doesnt understand that Athlons and 512K PIIIs are about the same and that Athlons dont get this high that easily because of the .18 micron manufacturign process......

also dual PIII-S at 1.75 would also crush Dual 1800+ because clock/clock the difference between Athlon and PIII is minimal.....

nope its in the socket protocol where the difference is......Powerleap is selling these FCPGA to FDCPGA2 adapters for like 60$

dear god..a 2.0ghz PIII with 512k L2...yumm...doh..:eek: it will easily crush anything that dares standing its way..:D

[donny_paycheck]

So what'd be faster: a 2ghz northwood P4 or 2ghz Tualatin P3. I'm guessing the P3....same cache and a more effecient core...am I right?

Well we could sweeten the deal and throw a 2ghz Xp in the mix and let them go at it......

[Maximus Nickus]

How bout a 2Ghz T-Bred with 512KB Cache, then AMD would once again have the speed crown.

Its coming...I just hope it has 512KB cache!!! (Its could have up to 1024KB cache) but this would make the price throught the roof and would increase heat ten-fold.

I'd like to see the turn out of this...

What methods are they using to oc those P3's???

[6502kid]

The P3-S would crush it like a bug.

My Celly 1.1a beats the Athlon XP 1600 when I have it
running at 135fsb, (1485mhz) and destroys the P4 1.6.

My P3-S is faster yet at 1400 or so. (143-148fsb)

Here is a pic of a bench I JUST ran with Prime95 and everything
else running.

[6502kid]

Whoops.....

[diehrd]

My Celly 1.1a beats the Athlon XP 1600 when I have it
running at 135fsb, (1485mhz) and destroys the P4 1.6.

Thats cool but the, when you set it to 135, kinda says it aint stable.SO winning 1 test and locking up aint really too much fun is it.

LOL !!!!!

[wildone]

sorry guys but your all wrong ,the pentium III -S is not much faster then the regular pentium III ,the regular athlon is only a percent or so slower then the S and the XP is faster clock for clock.

wildone

id say the PIII-S is about on par with the XP and it doesnt if the XP is a little bit faster because an XP at 1.86 is close to impossible and remember that the PIII gets some sweet memory bandwith that it doesnt normally get to push it over the top.....im just saying that this is the sweetest system out there.......

PIII by a lanslide....PIII has about the same IPC as Athlon and we all saw the benchies where a 1.67Xp was only barely beaten by a 2.2GHZ Northwood......this comp is on par with like a 2600+ Athlon imho....

[wildone]

well here is a way to check it out ,first goto cpuscorecard.com ,nothing but a cpu scorecard site,next goto madonion ,I checked a while back and in the top 100 highest benchmarks ,there were only 7 intels and afew of the intels are are the same guy,then like a handful of athlons ,the rest are xp's.

wildone

[wildone]

here is my cpu clocked down to 1.2 compared to a pent III -s

[wildone]

...

[saaya]

nice benchie!

[6502kid]

I was wrong about one thing, my P3-S at 154fsb is not
a lot faster than the Celly 1.1a at 135fsb (1485mhz)

It just barely beats it. Attached pic is my P3-s at 154fsb
in a Soyo TISU with 512mb of Kingmax Pc150@ 2-3-3 7/9

In responce to the comment that my 1.1a is not stable
at 1485mhz, this is 100 percent incorrect.

I have that in my XET-C board using the PLL-16 option so
my PCI and AGP are almost exactly in spec at that speed.
Got 2x256mb of OZC ram in the thing.

It ran Prime95 for 24 hours with no errors, 3dmark2001, 8+
hours of UT (server and client) on my little LAN with zero
errors of any kind.

I dont consider an overclock successful, unless it is 100% stable.

When I first got this chip, I posted some scores at 1520mhz, but
had a lockup as I as trying to upload one of the pics.

I then lowered the speed a bit, and reported my failure in that
same thread.

[AtomicGuY]

Got some great news for P3 lovers out there, there apparently is a few P3 1.4s already in Canada and in the US circling.

And some news readers have even reported that some 1.53GHz Pentium3-T 512KB have started to make there way to Japanesse markets (Protos or course :( ).

Also, not as hot but 1.46GHz Pentium3s with 256KB are appearing in Japan!

I bet the 1.53GHz Pentium3 will be the first stable Pentium3 to hit the 2GHz barriar.


Very good news for people with Socket370!

[tainice]

P-s 1.53? wow, now we are talking. hehe, if i can get a h2o system, i bet i can make 1.26@1.7 with easy...anyway, thanz for the news, i have seen those 1.4 online, but i won't venture out unless anything higher than 1.5 or 6 is out. it will be easier to hit 2gh.

[OC-Master]

I couldnt see any P3 1.53GHz processor be here any time soon. A 1.53GHz P3 would give a 2GHz northwood a run for its money thou!

If Intel countinues to rework the core on the Copper-T processors, we could possibly see a 1.67GHz processor.

Then again, Intel wants Pentium3 dead as soon as 533fsb p4s arrive.:confused:

Could you imagine a 1.67GHz Socket370 processor, that would be a fast and cheap upgrade alternative!

But I still dont even see anything about 1.53GHz anytime soon. I think this will be the last one to really sell around!

p.s-What the heck, Intel doesnt even have the 1.4s on the website? what gives?

[tainice]

intel is a ******* for ignoring tualatin core. why pusing p4 out so soon? yeah, 2.0ghz is good, but good for the eye only......why not spend just a little more time on tualatin then focus on p4...they are simply to pushy

[takiwa]

why did Intel even come out with the P4? They could've just made a DDR solution for the Socket 370, and crunk out a couple million Cellie Tualatin 2.0-2.6 giggers...:beer:

[OC-Master]

I totally agree with you,


I'm not an Intel fan as you can see in my sig below but the Tualatin processor which has such a lower front side bus yet still blows away any pentium4 when clocked for clock. It's too funny man. I would like to have a system with a Tualatin core!

I was told that the reason Intel has been holding on to the Socket370 road was because that the 1.26GHz P3-T 512KB had a 20% performance lead over the XEON processor @ 1.7GHz in almost everything.

The T-pentiums are designed for servers or at least thats what Intel wants its customers and oem suppliers to think.

1.53GHz P3-T 512KB processors will have the same processing power as a 1.8~2.0GHz Pentium4 Northwoods. That is so sweet!

[OC-Master]

opps, I didnt see that debate with the XP vs Tualatin,

I know for fact, clock for clock...

Tualatin 512KB L2 1.40GHz compared to a XP1600 1.40GHz, the Tualatin will beat it in almost everything.

The 256KB Tualatin processors are another story, for the XP would crush them by a little bit. As MHz grows, the demand for more on-die L2 cache increases.

To end the conflicts, you could say that the 512KB Tualatin's are like Intel's version of the AthlonXPs, unfortunetly, Intel is planning to stop after 1.53GHz and roar on with the horrible P4 core.

LOL, to cover things up, Intel will introduce a 533FSB to speed up the P4 by about 10%. Too bad for Intel i guess, since there only option left is to ramp up the MHz which they will. By the end of this year, there will be a 3GHz Northwood Pentium4.

[tainice]

and those p4 still sucks:D oh btw AXIA, where does your "fact" come from? i mean regrading the comparsion between XP and T-512. if possible, give me the address for some reading pleasure;)

[OC-Master]

there have been several benchmarking comparisons in the o/c forums.

6502kid according to his thing up a few threads clearly shows a 1.26T @ 1466Mhz and it bests a 1.4 AthlonXP in the RAW cpu setup. Now, In Quake3, you know that the 512k cache would really kick in and result in a clear performance lead in most cases. Then again, the XP has strong ddr support and makes fairly good use of the memory.

I have only seen 1 comparison of true benchmarking comparing a XP1800 and a 1.26 p3 512k @ 1533MHz. The benchmarks were almost exactly the same.

[Silver]

Well, just a note. Put up some benchies on 2.0Ghz and I will go over to icrontic and post some nice benches on Oppainters xp2000 at over 2.0Ghz. Prime 95ed and all.
