Here's the validation link, too: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1980971

No dude, it's real. This was done by people at AMD on Aug. 31st. Check the links above. Videos and everything.

Well, in which case CPUz needs to update to say it will run outside the box.
I didnt say it was a fake run, just that the valadation looked fake. Gueniuss was there, its a real run.

Remember that they achieved those clock speed with only 1 module. The other 3 modules were disabled.

who cares how they got to it as long as they got a core/module running over 8ghz, and i just want to see some god dang benches on this thing already, about to watch some of the vids now.

Now did anybody here not expect that maroon1 found a AMD thread and try to bring it down alittle. Man what a Intel fanboy with no shame. The one hit wonderboy.

Click to expand...

Remember that it also isn't stable, isn't designed to be usable clocks, and remember that if you couldn't notice that in the first place, you are a bit of a spanner. There is a difference between stable, every day overclocks and competitive overclocking, where the latter is to prove a point and for self achievement and competition, nothing else.

The fact that the chip gets 5.0GHz on air, with all modules ;), shows it is a hell of a clocker

The magic question is... when did it stop scaling?

EDIT: Performance-wise, not clock-wise... it obviously stopped scaling when they hit 8.429Ghz.

Is anyone else a little shocked by the voltage they used? 2.016v... even at subzero that's a lot! :eek:

I wonder how much power it was pulling?

so what if they had, would it have hit a point in overclocking the score beggins to drop or what would have happened, just peaked a little curiosity on this

Probably lock up/freeze. In one run, think they had a virus scanner running and it would clock alittle over 8ghz. This is kinda like a drag race run, you dont bring your air conditioner/DVD player with flat screen/girlfriend with her dog in the back seat.

still an interesting question, or at least try it at 6-7ghz or whatever the highest it can actually execute anything at, but if you think about it if it can run windows shouldn't it be able to run a program though, i get that in comps it just doesn't always work that way but i'd still like to see them try and you know you'd watch it if they did.

This is just a clock run. But yeah sure I would like to see some benchmarks. But we are not going to see any thing that will give away the clock IPC till a few days before release or the day of.

You guys beat me to it. :p

That's friggin awesome, though. Nothing's been able to displace Netburst in max clock yet. Until now. My hopes are officially high. I don't care if it's the same speed clock-for-clock as the current Phenoms, that's still pretty cool.
