The eldest of the dual-core 32 nm processors Clarkdale named Core i5-670 is already entrenched at a frequency of 7 GHz overclock, which allowed him to set world records in SuperPI – benchmark heavily dependent on processor performance. Last time we reported on the result of SuperPI 1M, equal to 5.991 seconds, which was achieved at a frequency of 7034 MHz processor.

Just a couple of days later hicookie improved its achievements, to overclock the processor Core i5-670 in the test SuperPI 1M to the frequency of 7098 MHz, which ensured the achievement of a new world record, equal to 5.944 seconds.

Opponent author of the first record on behalf of Nickshih, meanwhile, began to improve results in the varieties of the test SuperPI, requiring more prolonged stable operation of the processor frequency reached. For example, when overclocked to 6732 MHz engineering sample Core i5-670 (3.47 GHz) was able to perform the calculation of pi up to 32 million decimal places in six minutes and seven and a half seconds.

This is a new world record in the category SuperPI 32M. The author of this achievement has announced the beginning of a new round of tests conducted at a higher frequency of bus QPI. Consequently, in the coming days, the records can be updated.
