Core i7 Extreme Overclocking with LN2
SANDRA and Cinebench Testing

We began our testing with SiSoftware's SANDRA, which stands for System ANalyzer, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant.
We ran the built-in Processor Arithmetic test at both stock and overclocked CPU frequencies.

4.83GHz and Stable - Click for High Res.
Even
with a massive overclock, we were still surprised at the performance
increase we saw with SANDRA. The 4.83GHz processor scored about 45%
higher than the stock clocked 975 in both Drystone and Whetstone
benchmarks, which is directly proportional to our clock speed increase
of course

Cinebench R10 is an OpenGL 3D rendering performance test based on Cinema 4D from Maxon. Cinema 4D is a 3D rendering and animation tool suite used by 3D animation houses and producers like Sony Animation and many others. It's very demanding of system processor resources and is an excellent gauge of pure computational throughput.

Cinebench is torturous - 4.8GHz realized (click for high res)
The
4.8GHz overclock shines bright during the Cinebench benchmark. We hit
jaw dropping 6879 single threaded and 27373 multi-threaded CPU scores,
a massive improvement over stock 3.33GHz scores of 4800 and 19014;
about a 44% gainer which is also pretty sweet.
