Intel 32nm processors dubbed Clarkdale, are to be launched next week. But its capabilities are already being explored by over-clockers from around the world. The picture shows the overclocking feat achieved by NickShih from Xtremesystems forum. He reached a speed of 6.9GHz on a Core i5 32nm edition.

As you can see, the voltage is set at 1.94V which is not that high, considering the frequency achieved. With this proof at hand, we can now be a bit more confident about Clarkdales achieving good clocks on lower volts, thus letting us have a fair share of the OC fun. Anyhow it was expected, so lets see if it’s for real once it has been released.

Have a look at the screen shot to get all the details.

The config used was Intel Core i5 1156 LGA 32nm coupled with  EVGA P55 3X SLI Classified.This did a overclock of 6921.8MHZ with multiplier of 27 and bus speed of 256.36.The stock rated FSB was 3076.35 Mhz.So you can see the capability of Core i5 32nm chip.

System specification:

Processor: Clarkdale 3.47GMotherboard: EVGA P55 3X Classified (E659)
VGA card: Radeon HD 5870
RAM: A-DATA 2200 CL8 & G.Skill 2000 CL7
PSU: Antec TruePower Quattro 1200 OC
Hard Drive: Western Digital 500G
Kingpin Dragon F1 eXtreme Edition LN spot

This was not all.The same guy gave a update too .He clocked a max of 7.11Ghz with a different machine but the processor was of same batch although it was a different piece.Here are the specs he used to clock 7.11Ghz

System specification:

• Clarkdale I5 670 ES 3.47g
• EVGA E659 A51 BIOS
• GSKILL 2000 CL7 1gx2
• ANTEC TPQ1200w OC
• segate 500G
• Kingpin Venom pot

With the above config 7003.0 MHZ(7.11GHZ maxed) was clocked with multiplier of 27 and bus speed of 259.4.The stock rated FSB was 3112.4 Mhz.Here is the screen shot of SuperPi calculation as well as CPUz validator.Lets hope such awesome batches come soon.
