There is still gunpowder in the flasks of the single-core Celeron D 347
Now all overclockers are mainly fond of overclocking modern CPUs – for example, the same Ryzen 3000 or 5000. In rare cases, they take on old processors, and in very exceptional cases – for very old ones. The single-core Celeron D 347 is just that.
14-year-old Intel processor overclocked to 8.36 GHz
With a base frequency of 3.06 GHz, one user managed to get this CPU to work at 8.36 GHz. The test system used an Asus P5E64 WS Professional motherboard and a 2GB DDR3 RAM module. Of course, liquid nitrogen was used for cooling, and Windows XP was used as the OS. Let us recall that Celeron D 347 was released in the fourth quarter of 2006. This 65nm CPU has a 512KB L2 cache and a TDP of 86W.
To be fair, it should be noted that 8.36 GHz is not the highest frequency for the Celeron D 347: in 2013, a Chinese overclocker overclocked it to 8.51 GHz.
