Overclocking

For the overclocked results, I decided it was time to publish another "roundup" of results - so you can see the stock and overclocked results for a large number of processors in the following tables.

I think you will like the results - the E4300 turned out to be an excellent overclocker, as I expected it would be.

Doom 3

Ah, the benchmark that may never die... note how well the overclocked E4300 performs.

Yes, your math is correct. I got the E4300 up to 3.60GHz! A 100% overclock!

More on that later :)

WinRAR

Running the FSB at a higher rate, and the higher core speed, make a HUGE impact on WinRAR. The numbers speak for themselves, but just in case you miss it - three of the overclocked results even beat the stock quad core QX6700!

Ok, the multi-threaded results show that the QX6700 can beat the lower end Core 2's quite handily - even at stock compared to dual cores overclocked.
