nsane.forums Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 An overclocker by the name of AndreYang has set a world record in CPU frequency of 8.67GHz using the FX-8350 AMD chip, but only after two previously set records were set just yesterday. Click image to see the full scores. The overclocking scene has wasted no time putting AMD's 8-core "Vishera" FX-8350 processor through its paces and it looks like AMD is king for speed, at least for now. First bragged about by MSI in a press release yesterday after one of their consumers set a record-breaking 8.37GHz on the 990FXA-GD80 motherboard, it was then trumped twice to set the current 8.67GHz record, which still stands at the time of writing. Overclocker AndreYang used just two of the eight cores enabled on the FX-8350 on a Asus Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard, with 2GB of G.Skill DDR3 memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, and Liquid Nitrogen for cooling, topped off with an extremely high vCore of 2.064V. The FX-8350 chip, which was only launched recently, comes clocked at 4GHz Base with 4.2GHz Turbo. Packing 1.2 billion transistors, 1MB of L2 cache (per core, so 8MB total), 8MB of L3 cache, and a rated TDP of 125 watts.

shought Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 People really need to get lives I could literally think of about a trillion more important things to do before i got to the stage of specwankingGreat to hear you have better things to do :) Then again other people are actually interested in this, so let's not ruin their day, shall we?

rudrax Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ahh..AMD just increases frequency not the performance..will be beaten by a 4 Ghz intel 3rd gen CPU :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What possible point is there to it than ego, does help us cure cancer, feed the hungry...no Absolutely pointless It only exists so X person can brag he momentarily overclocked his CPU....woop de doo Does it have any use for the wider PC community...no, consumer PC's are never going to be seen running liquid nitrogen. Nor would the speed be usable for any more than a few minutes to run a benchmark....most of a CPU's real world use is at idle, unless youre a 30 or 40 year old still playing games......and as pointed out its only a frequency boost and as usual any AMD chip can be beaten by Intel in real world use on air cooling, so again, whats the point.... Not exactly an advance for the human race, now NASA has an announcement coming that is believed to be major, thats far more worthy of discussion than a basement troll with some liquid nitrogen....

Id rather have mine thanks,,,, My final post on the subject....real life beckons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 22, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 22, 2012 There's a simple answer to this.AMD, thanks to cheaper CPUs, but bad architecture, has been performing bad when compared to Intel. In order reduce this gap, both AMD and overclockers are increasing the clock as much as possible. This overclocking record is just a small inspiration for AMD CPU users that, yes, you can get better performance, even if you don't use liquid nitrogen.

Marik Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 nice speed.they should make one that makes you breakfast while you play your games and stuff...that will make our lives that much easier :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
