TAGG sets multiple records with Intel Pentium E2140 dual-core chip
Austrian overclocker TAGG has set a new series of records, pushing an Intel Pentium E2140 from 1600 MHz to a staggering 4320 MHz — a 170% boost — and successfully completing several demanding benchmarks.
Austrian overclocker TAGG has chalked up an impressive string of results with an overclocked Intel Pentium E2140. This particular CPU, designed for the LGA 775 platform, normally clocks in at a meager 1600 MHz. That baseline is crucial, because in his recent benching session, TAGG pushed the E2140 to an astonishing 4320 MHz – a massive 170% increase over its stock speed! What's even more remarkable is that at this extreme frequency, the CPU remained stable enough to complete several demanding benchmarks, including wPrime - 1024m, PiFast, Cinebench - R11.5, and Cinebench - R15:
Benchmark | Result | CPU frequency |
9min 58sec 187ms | 4320 MHz | |
22sec 800ms | 4320 MHz | |
2.35 points | 4320 MHz | |
198 points | 4320 MHz |
The Austrian's test bench included an ASUS Rampage Extreme motherboard, a pair of 2GB Corsair Dominator GTX2 RAM modules, and a 1200-watt Corsair power supply.
