14 DAY TRIAL // Designing and building a computer capable of smashing the world speed record in one of the most demanding tests out there is certainly no easy task, but it seems that the people over at Cryo PC have really managed to do it.
As KitGuru reports, the team from Cryo PC managed to come up with a machine (called Cryo Octane EDP-WS X5680), that broke the SPEC CPU2006 world performance record, using Dual Intel Xeon 5680 processors and numerous tweaks in order to do so.
When put to the test, the respective system managed to attain a score of around 54.7/51.4 points in the CINT2006 integer speed test, 73.2/69.3 points in the CFP2006 Floating Point speed test and, finally, 504 points in the CINT2006 Integer peak rating.
So, beside switching off the Turbo Boost feature of the aforementioned Cryo Octane system, the team also set the clocks to a 4.5GHz frequency, thus totaling no less than 12 physical cores and an otherwise quite impressive 24 thread capability.
Moreover, given the fact that attaining such an impressive level of performance also requires some extra components on the side, the team behind this very impressive machine also equipped the Octane system with 48GB of DDR3 memory, plus a very fast SSD drive.
Last, but certainly not least, it's also somewhat interesting to mention that the whole system described above has been encased in a very attractive case from Lian Li, the A77F model, that also leaves plenty of room for Cryo PC's custom-cooling system (clearly required for a such a high-end machine).
All in all, we'll have to admit that the outfit really managed to do a great job with their record-breaking system, proving their extensive expertise in the field of assembling gaming-grade computing solutions and also getting some more attention from enthusiast users in the process.
