Phenom OC'd to 3GHz on video

Hope this hasn't been posted already. Some AMD tech guy demonstrating OverDrive on video. Undoubtedly this is a hand-picked CPU so I wouldn't take it as indicative of Phenom's average overclockability, but it's fairly encouraging still.

EDIT: I wonder if the 1.3V will be the stock VCore for the Phenoms (as opposed to the 0.9V we saw in some previously-linked benchmarks), or if it's simply what the clocker set it at to achieve 3GHz.

Impressive. *fingers crossed*

Almost certainly the latter, though 65nm running at 1.3V isnt too bad compared to some of the volts Conroe cores get put under. Not saying there is a direct comparison, just that as far as the silicon itself is concerend you must be able to make some paralels.

0.9V is pretty low... wonder if thats the new Cool'n'Quiet at work?

Only 3ghz? ....

I'm afraid so...

Damn, was hoping to get back to AMD :/

Well, better luck next time folks, will get Penryn then.

cheapo q6600 g0 for me

he didnt say it would only do 3ghz, he useds that as a demo. and he went straight to 3ghz without any inbetween steps which makes me think it can do more.

Well going from other Phenom reviews it doesn't look like it will be doing too much more than 3ghz
