angelkiller:wtf: Okay.....

aCid888*They are talking about unlocking a dual core to a quad core and then overclocking said unlocked CPU so 238% may not be such an outrageous claim.

Draken Of Darknessi think intel chipsets are much better than these ones.

aCid888*It makes sense if you actually read it. :rolleyes:

Aside from that, this board actually looks pretty nice; certainly worth looking at if your building an HTPC and want some extra features that most budget boards in this price range fail to offer.



ECS on the rise?? I think so. :toast:

angelkillerFor the record, I have no issues with ECS or this board. Just the claims.

Let's assume applications scale perfectly with core count and clock speed. Now let's say my stock CPU was a 2GHz Phenom X2. Unlocking the extra 2 cores gives me 100% more cores. Overclocking it to 4GHz gives me an additional 100% performance gain. An extra 40% in performance is going to require another 800MHz on the clock speed, which isn't very realistic. To bring them back to reality, there is no 2GHz Phemom X2. The slowest Newegg has is 3GHz. But more importantly, I know of no application (or even a benchmark) that scales linearly with cores and clock speed. Most software can't even use 4 cores, let alone scale like that. So 200% improvement is about as far as they could go before I call them out on it.

Even worse on the graphics. Are they saying you'll see more than twice the performance out of the IGP? Have they figured out a way to more than double its clock speed?

Those were completely outrageous claims. Not even close.

suraswamiCool down. Just do this :laugh::D:roll::roll:
