AMD "Vishera" CPU sets a World Record 8.67GHz frequency

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.

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.

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 specwanking

Great 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?

Ahh..AMD just increases frequency not the performance..will be beaten by a 4 Ghz intel 3rd gen CPU :rolleyes:

Cut the string and get yourself lost there..Be in peace and let the world to be in the same. :lol: :wtf: :P

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....

No buddy, you may think like that but others may not..I know in the real world, there are a few SOM who can aford Liquid Nitrogen cooled rigs..so SOMs get the rigs and SOPs dreams of those having the news in nsane forums..that's the point. :)

Dude, so what youre saying is that some users have LN rigs and the rest of a small clique on forums aspire to having them, all so that one day they can set an irrelevant in the real world clock speed

Doesnt sound like a fulfulling life.

Id rather have mine thanks,,,,

My final post on the subject....real life beckons

@stylemessiah:

No one has any right so stop anyone from doing what they want. Unless it's harmful to others.

I said it before, but I will say it again: Each To His Own ;)

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.

I'm gonna get your butts dipped in Liquid Nitrogen:lmao:

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:
