The last time Intel Xeon L3014 processor flashed in our news in the summer, or rather July 31st. Then the British overclocker under the nickname NOXINITE set a record in the rather unpopular discipline GPUPI FOR CPU – 1B.
Then I was sure that the enthusiast was only probing the ground and a whole avalanche of records on a single-core processor in all kinds of ranks and disciplines awaited us. However, to my regret, this was his only result on Xeon L3014.
Fortunately, the Finnish overclocker Luumi decided to take advantage of the omission of his British colleague and, a few days after an incredibly successful bench session with Core i7 920, took up Xeon L3014.
And he took it tight:
By overclocking the processor to 5906MHz, Luumi set a record in the Xeon L3014 rank, and the global rank for all single-core CPUs in Cinebench – R15.
Then, slightly lowering the processor frequency to 5832 MHz, the Finnish enthusiast took gold in Geekbench3 – Multi-Core both in the current CPU rank and for all single-core CPUs.
In the comments to his results, the record holder shared his plans for the future:
Pushing the Xeon L3014 even higher with last 5 liters of LN2 :D. Got 1.85 R11.5 score once at 6.03g but hang when taking screenshot, will show on video soon.
Luumi
And this is readily believed. After all, only Splave is ahead of the Finnish overclocker in productivity.
For both records, Luumi used liquid nitrogen, an ASUS Rampage Extreme motherboard based on the X48 system logic top for the LGA775 platform (judging by the commentary, this is the Asus Rampage Extreme Team Finland edition – the oldest of the existing revisions), 2 DDR3 Corsair Dominator GTX2 RAM sticks and a 2000 watt Super Flower Leadex power supply.
The author did not indicate whether LGA771 processor was redesigned for use on LGA775 board, or the board itself was modified (cut off the rails). But taking into account the cost and rarity of ASUS Rampage Extreme “motherboard”, it becomes obvious that it is the processor that has undergone modifications and received cuts.
