AMD OC Record Broken, Still Powered by AMD FX-8150
In mid-September, earlier this year, a team of overclockers sponsored by AMD set a new Guinness Record for clock speed by a silicon processor, setting an AMD FX-8150 processor to run at a staggering 8429.38 MHz. If anything, the coveted Guinness Record feat helped cement the general notion that AMD FX processors are good at overclocking. Sadly, AMD's record didn't last long, with renowned overclocker Andre Yang breaking it with his 8461.51 MHz feat. At this point we don't know if Andre had Guinness covering his feat to he could officially break AMD's record. AMD wouldn't mind it at all, because the new record was set using an AMD FX-8150, too. Andre did it single-handed, or at least he is the only person in the "Submitted by" field on the CPU-Z Validation page.
According to the validation page, 8461.51 MHz was achieved using a base clock speed of 272.95 MHz, with 31.0X multiplier, and a brutal core voltage of 1.992V (almost 2 volts!). As with AMD's record feat, an ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard was used. A single 2 GB Corsair-made memory module was used doing 909.8 MHz (1818.16 MHz DDR) with timings of 9-9-9-24T. Like with AMD's feat, only two out of the FX-8150's eight cores were enabled. More details are awaited.

I sense a great amount of hate about to be dropped in this thread.

I'm wondering,at that speed and vcore, how much power that chip eats.
If only AMD could lower the tdp... |

Wonder when the records going to be over 9000....
Also there is a typo in the 2nd to last sentence in the first paragraph, seems "to" should be "so".

Maybe I'm harder to please than others, but it seems so small of an improvement that I'm not excited. It's only 0.38% (32 MHz) higher than the previous record. It's not like the previous record, which was about 150MHz higher than the one before it.

that is nice and all but I am still waiting further revisions before I buy. maybe even just pull the trigger on Piledriver since my 955 is doing just fine

hmm... isn't it technically hyper-threaded? considering the way its broken into "modules".
I wonder if it uses less power/tdp overclocked that way than it does at stock with all core/modules running

I'm saying your initial post insinuated that AMD should "give it up". When AMD had nothing to do with this OC record. |

<sigh> Even a Pentium 4 can run at 8GHz when you use super cooled liquids. It's hard to care about an overclock that isn't 24/7 stable, isn't using all cores, and doesn't have a sustainable cooling system.

But this is all irrelevant. We'll eventually get new design materials in mass production and finally see clocks much much higher than any of this. Been a lot of promising research over the past decade that is being put towards this. |

Bulldozer this, Bulldozer that. Common, for most PC users Bulldozer is realy fast and cheap CPU with 8 cores to brag around friends, who understands nothing about CPUs.
And gratz to the OC guy with his record!

This is amazing! You have to disable 6 "cores"! You only use one 2GB stick! What a great feat!

As far I recall a 10Ghz was planned ahead on corps while they decided to go to threading.
It's sad to see what we have to deal with today, it's still a one hell of an score there.

I wonder if the performance is hindered by not incorporating the Hi-k Metal Gate process in this generation of CPUs. I know that they are supposed to finally make the jump with Piledriver when they come out. Intel's been using HKMG I think for 2 or 3 generations now, and it's been sucessful thus far. Hurry up and get the lead out AMD!! Show Intel that you can work fast too...

Without benchmark or stability test, this is useless IMO.
