i wish they used chips with the same clockspeeds... 2.93ghz vs 3.33ghz is a bit hard to compare...that's a 400mhz diff.

125W? Taht's worse then presshots. I wonder what kind of stock cooler comes with those

Well P5B Deluxe has a decent amount of regulators it might work. Crossing fingers that it would with just a bios upgrade.

Which test you guys looking at? They all look proper to me the Penryn's out preform the C2D Quad and even the Dual Core gets quiet close to quads performance.

Yeah, another P5B Dlx owner with fingers crossed too here !
Fyi, Asus P5B-Deluxe mobo is equipped with this Analog PWM -> ADP3198 8-Bit Programmable 2- to 4-Phase Synchronous Buck Controller or straight to PDF datasheet.
Laymen term, basically this mobo's PWM driver capable to deliver VCore from 0.5 Volt up to 1.6 Volt !
Hopefully its not locked out (hard wired) by Asus mobo designer for the voltage range below 1.1000 V which is currently the lowest allowed in the BIOS !
Hard modding is possible though if someone has the gut to change/alter some PCB traces at those VIDx pins at that chip with LFCSP_VQ smd package or it's PCB trace which might be "abit" easier. (Look at last page at datasheet if you want to know how small those pins are !)
Again, another hope is Penryn's final VRM spec changes will be only at lower VCore and "nothing else".

Well CPU score thats nice either way. Have to run my CPU at the same speed to really see what the advantage is at that speed compared to a C2D dual at least.
What program do you use for your 3D Renderings?

Well even if the lowest of low VCore is below whats on our system doesn't mean we can't use it. Its not like we actually use speed step or anything like that
Just cross and pray that Asus allows it.deathman20 said:Well even if the lowest of low VCore is below whats on our system doesn't mean we can't use it. Its not like we actually use speed step or anything like that
Actually, if you read that datasheet, this PWM controller capable of "finer" vcore than the BIOS provided, damn those lazy BIOS programmer.

Its all Intel.. what you had to do to the original badaxe to update its VID (to make it C2D compatable) http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1446099&postcount=1
This review makes it sound like they have done something similar to the badaxe2
