Conroe has had its launch moved forward by Intel earlier and the hype that is spreading across the web is growing for each day. Rumors mixed with some hands-on experiences and a large portion of the latter has now been served by our Chinese colleagues at HKEPC where they've published an overclocking result with an Intel Core E6400 processor, a Conroe model overclocked from the 2.13GHz original frequency, with an almost 50% overclock to 3.1GHz using the stock cooler. The overclocking potential is truly exciting here, but the performance is absolutely thrilling at these speeds, at 3.1GHz and a 388.7MHz processor bus it took 16 sec for the system to complete a SuperPi 1M calculation.
We reported yesterday about Core Duo being the new fun-toy for overclockers scoring SuperPi scores beneath 17 sec, which makes you wonder even more what Conroe would be able to achieve. It to seems to be quite a friend of overclocking, which we are of course looking forward to investigating.
