The guys at the zone are hyping this up too. Fastest x86 overclock ever.

Except for the P4 that has been taken to 8Ghz.

That's nice, but means nothing when the PhII's only are guaranteed to go to 3.6 on average.
The X3's unlocked to X4 overclocked to 3.5Ghz on the other hand...now that's something.

Finally SOMETHING can run crysis!

I like that quote from december about how the phII at 6.2 is "almost stable". :laugh:

Reminds me of a Japanese colleague of mine who would frequently say "I understand perfectly!...maybe."

Let's OC a 4870x2 or a GTX 295 to 4ghz+ and then it might be newsworthy (and also could maybe run Crysis maxed out as well?)

 

[imported_Redmist]

so when can we buy quads that run at 6.2GHz stock and will fit into our quad socket motherboards?

this is able to RUN crysis.. not max it out ;p

Breaking the 7GHz barrier is just around the corner.

Black Edition 45nm CPUs are traditionally great overclockers and AMD?s latest ace, the Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition is no exception. This quad-core CPU?s reference clock is 3.2GHz, but a Chinese overclocking team LimitTeam_Sigh managed to push it to more than double the stock speed.

Although it?s still early in the game and we are likely to see even higher overclocks, the current record is 6696MHz which is seriously impressive. LimitTeam_Sigh used LN cooling on Asus? M4A79T Deluxe motherboard to reach such high clocks, and it?s clear that breaking the 7GHz barrier is just around the corner.

You can check out the results here.

there is no barrier, its just a number, and 6.7 to 7ghz is still some distance away.
I guartee you aren't going to notice those last 300mhz of performance when using such a system.

Thread necro for a Fudzilla link.

Thanks.

For real. I thought it was news.

Lol, I don't think you'd be able to notice any other differences as you prolly have half an hour before liquid nitrogen runs out

 

[taltamir]

assuming your game doesn't CRASH midway

No it doesnt. It really, really doesnt.


You shall now be forever shamed for posting a tech-blog link and taking it too serious.

Edit: I see you came back for more. :laugh:

AMD's new chips seem very overclockable at low temps. Too bad they don't seem to handle even moderately high temps as well as Intel in terms of overclocking.
I predict the X3's and X2's to get pretty good overclocks though. Same die size with a deactivated core or two should mean lower temps, and if AMD really does have a lot of overclocking headroom, maybe that will show through. I wouldn't be surprised to see >4Ghz regularly on the X2's. Then again, a Phenom 1 X2 regularly gets over 3Ghz, and core 2 duos regularly get over 4Ghz (or so people say), so not so impressive.

AMD is back with dual 45nm Athlon II 250 and Phenom II 550

3.9GHz overclock and beats Intel E7000 duals
