Our selection of the G0 stepping pays off once more, as we are able to run the processor at a frequency of 3.30 GHz without a core voltage increase.
Now, the memory divider has to be dropped down to 2.00x, which results in a memory frequency of DDR2-829.
| CPU Frequency | 3,30 GHz (+24 %) |
| FSB | 413 MHz (1652 QDR) |
| Core Voltage | Default |
| Memory Multiplier | 2.00x |
| Memory Frequency | DDR2-829 (415 MHz) |
| Memory Latency | CL 4.0-4-4-12 |
