A serious overclocker? Well now you see from my perspective you saying that tells me your not a serious overclocker :p

My first PC moving from an Amiga 500+ was a Pentium II, then a Pentium III and a Pentium 4 HT Skt 478, the latter was my first taste of overclocking, there was a lot of hype about that chip none of which materialized, its was much like Bulldozer in that it was extremely inefficient and just plain wrong in every way, it was bad.
Never the less i cut my teeth on 2 of them having fried the first.
Then the Athlon XP came along promising to put the P4 to shame, which in line with its hype; it did. It was fast, it ran very cool and overclocked like nothing anyone had ever seen before, it was a real joy.
I replaced that with the first dual core Desktop CPU, the Athlon x2 which was very much like the XP only it had two cores.
I replaced that going back to Intel with their new Core Duo, lovely chip but i felt there was something missing in it.
That got replaced 2 years ago by the 1090T i have now, yes i chose it over Nehalem despite the hype over it, but i also built a 2500K rig for the family.

On paper AMD have fallen behind, they don't bench Intel-x87 intrusions as well as Intel, surprise surprise. nor is their Floating Point performance as good so some games run better on Intel, yet i still play Metro2033 maxed and with Physx maxed, i Also play BL2 with Physx on medium, what i don't do is play Wow @ 1280 x 768 or at 120Hz on a 3 screen setup.
What i do play is games like BF3 on an overclocked 7870, in that no Intel user has anything on me as you can see from my slides in the Gaming benchmarks thread.

Another thing i do is x264 encoding on properly threaded open source software, in that i blow a 2500K out of the water and the FX-8350 blows me out of the water by a country mile.

The only thing i'm missing out on is 3DMark benching, but Vishy will fix that as its just as fast for that as an i5-K :)

But less of that and back to overclocking, overclocking is personal preferences, i get get more joy out of overclocking AMD's than i do Intel.
AMD's are just far 'more' unlocked than Intel, you can over / under volt / overclock every little aspect of everything to do with and built around the chip, including for strange reason the South Bridge, they are just a huge chest of toys and buttons to press.
So to me, if you want to talk about serious overclocking, Intel isn't it and i think the Guinness book of records agrees with me, Intel can't compete in that department :D

Intel for benching, AMD for overclocking :)

either in the real world.

This is the third best Vantage score ever and I have an even better CPU sitting next to me now !!!!!!

Thanks to Gibbo and the team at OCUK.

You guys will see this bench is CPU power as well as graphics especially after two cards.

Thankyou.

No I did not bench in that no. I have only in the last few weeks joined Team GB. But I will be benching all the country stuff in the future.

Interestingly this CPU can do 134 BLK stable but not with a multi card setup. Scores get worse.. On single card though 134 with DDR 2486+ and at 5.5ghz is entirely do able. DRAM at 10-12-11-28 1T.

MVP enabled, 7950 TF3 at 1200/1800 and 3570k at 4.5 GHz.

MVP Disabled, 7950 TF3 at 1210/1800 and 3570k at 4.5 GHz

Dammit Vantage also has problems recognising MVP, I'll re-run the disabled MVP score some time. Hardly any difference in score which is strange, but in 3DM11 it makes a huge difference.
