More than 100 GFlops under PowerFractal!

Without a doubt, we've continued to play with our overclocked Mac Pro. Alas, the heat yesterday has not served us well, and we were unable to repeat our feat at a stable 3.7 GHz. We've become content with 3.6 GHz (for an October 3rd CPU, with a 2 GHz default clock speed) is a 11% overclock the CPU. We still made some tests on this frequency. Before we comment, we remind you that at least take a stopwatch in hand to achieve them, you must restart the machine, which is unfortunately impossible with the 2nd gen Mac Pro, which refuses to do so once overclocked. Indeed, this only helps to restart the clock to run at a normal speed. Before restarting, it is also accelerated, thus distorting the results of using this software clock to calculate the performance index. Thus, under PowerFractal, we managed to cross the 100 GFlops barrier, reaching precisely 101019.6 Mflops (against 88880 at 3.2 GHz). We were also impressed with Cinebench R10. -- Rendering with a processor rose from
