Haswell-E Record Update: GIGABYTE Strikes Back With XTU World Record, HWBOT Prime and Wprime Globals

Last week we referenced a couple of Haswell-E records in an editorial about Intel's latest platform. Today we can report on a couple of new Haswell-E Top Scores set by the GIGABYTE overclocking team live at IDF and of course in the well-known OC Lab. The top scores include the XTU World Record and Global Top Scores, HWBOT Prime and both WPrime 8xCPU and are set by GIGABYTE's in-house dynamic duo HiCookie and Sofos1990. In addition, one top score was set by US overclocker CL3P2O from the XtremeSystems overclocking team.

Congratulations to everyone involved! In the table below you can find more information about the results.
