5Ghz on air and on sub $100 water solution also achieved now that has got my attention

News that's worthy of its own thread me thinks. A nice achievement for AMD, and it'll definitely help sell to the enthusiast community... But for me the jury is still out. I want to see some baseline performance benchmarks and more realistic 24/7 OC figures.

could be nice indeed :cool:

nice wouldn't mind 8 cores running at 5 ghz

That video and world record was done with just 2 cores enabled...

Not sure what it can do with 8.

Well in video : http://hardocp.com/article/2011/09/13/amd_bulldozer_fx_model_8150_cpu_overclocking_preview

they have it runing 4.8 ghz with antec kuhler

But can it play Crysis?

4.5-5ghz 8 core on air. MUST RESIST. STICK TO SKIP A SOCKET MENTALITY.

EniGmA1981 · 13 Sep 2011 at 18:15

Wonder what it could do with just one core enabled??

I think I would genuinely drool if I see a screenshot of one of these clocking up 10GHz lol

Skip socket 1155, go straight to AM3+

Hotwired · 13 Sep 2011 at 18:25

So by disabling 6/8 cores they manage to finally outclock the Celerons which were doing 8.2 - 8.3GHz

Crippled processors doing stunts to get impatient fans gibbering < proper benches at stock :mad:

Still, good on the OC team for the new record.

the world record is for the quickest clock speed, whether it is one core or 16

A 5Ghz 8 cores CPU with AMD 7990 = Awesome Gaming!!

haha, I WAS going to shift over to Intel, but this is just too good to ignore, regardless if an i7 smashes it in coding, whatever. I think it's a great buy (unless the sub £200 price is mocking me)

what the hell? Bulldozer has been ripped so much on here over the past few months, how does this change anything? big deal it broke the world record for clock speed, but that has absolutely no relevance in the real world. let me think back in the day Prescott was breaking all the clock speed records, but the catch was it was terrible and got stomped by K8. don't understand why this news has suddenly changed the perception of the imminent Bulldozer...? :confused:

Energize · 13 Sep 2011 at 20:14

I don't understand it either, the 2500k easily overclocks > 4.5GHz on air.

Nothing much then.

It changes things because it's the first real info we've had about BD that's been confirmed as genuine, the fact that AMD allowed this to be published means BD's getting close to release.

Nothing much at all....

Just a world record.
