Intel Core i7-930: Luumi set 4 records

Finnish overclocker Luumi just set four records for the 4-core, 8-thread Intel Core i7-930 processor. This 45-nanometer chip was designed for the LGA 1366 platform and belongs to the first generation of Intel Core i7 CPUs.

The enthusiast first snagged gold in the SuperPi - 1M. The chip was clocked at 5270MHz for this, achieving a result of 7 seconds and 640 milliseconds:

Next, the overclocker tackled the tougher SuperPi - 32M variation of SuperPi, pushing the chip to 5128MHz for these results:

After the single-threaded discipline, Luumi decided to try even tougher benchmarks, moving on to wPrime. The enthusiast first set a record in the relatively straightforward wPrime - 32m. The CPU clock speed dropped further here to 5155MHz, resulting in 4 seconds and 641 milliseconds:

Finally, Luumi solidified his lead in the Intel Core i7-930 chip's ranking with gold in wPrime - 1024m. Here, the stable CPU frequency saw its most significant drop, down to 5045MHz, with a benchmark result of 2 minutes, 30 seconds, and 41 milliseconds:

The Finn's test bench comprised the following components:

Motherboard - ASUS Rampage III Black Edition
RAM - 3 x 2GB Corsair Dominator GTX2 modules
Power supply - Super Flower 8Pack 2000-watt model
