What is the difference (implication-wise) between being overclocked at 5GHz and not-being-overclocked but still at 5GHz It’s like extrapolating from an athlete

What is the difference (implication-wise) between being overclocked at 5GHz and not-being-overclocked but still at 5GHz
It’s like extrapolating from an athletes 100m sprint time to their Marathon time. In other words, taking peak performance and presenting it as something that can be sustained for long periods.
- geezerjay 8y agoThat's a great analogy.
- floatboth 8y agoThis analogy is not about overclocking in general: if you OC for daily use you run stress tests and make sure it's stable. But yeah, this is absolutely the case with the Intel demo. Their demo proved that the chip can run Cinebench at 5GHz. Cinebench is not the heaviest load and it finishes very, very quickly. If they showed Prime95 AVX with small FFTs running for a couple hours, that would count as stable :D
