AMD A8-3870K Overclocked to 5.87 GHz CPU, 1.32 GHz GPU in Suicide-Run
A Japanese overclocker achieved a 96% CPU clock speed increase and 121% GPU clock speed increase during a "suicide-run" using a retail AMD A8-3870K Black Edition processor. The feat was conducted by OverclockWorks, a tech-community and store for Japanese overclockers. A CPU clock speed of 5,875 MHz was achieved using a base clock speed of 125 MHz, and multiplier of 47.0x, and a brutal core voltage of 1.872V. The integrated Radeon HD 6550D GPU was overclocked to 1,327 MHz from its default 600 MHz. The overclocker claimed that his feat is "probably the world's best", though, like some of the most unstable suicide-runs, the system was too unstable to run benchmarks. Apart from the A8-3870K, the test-bench consisted of ASUS F1A75-V Pro motherboard, G.Skill RipjawsZ memory, and a certain SilverStone PSU.

the APU designation has been this way for awhile so no not really copying anything

3870 was once an ATI product. Now an AMD APU. Intel is just finally catching up in the numbers.
Isn't that much of a feat really when you remember these APUs are based off the Athlons. People were clocking those well too. But combined with the GPU on die, it gets a nod. |

But K10 is a CPU codename, not the actual name. And yes, it was the CMYK and K stands for black.

i just had a point to make below and then possibly another point about the K meaning in programming here

You must really think it's weird that so many things begin with i.

Thread begins and a news post that someone achieved a 96% overclock on an AMD processor.
Immediately changes to AMD "stealing" the naming scheme from Intel. This thread is now about pizza. K stands for pineapple on the pizza ordering scheme. Intel ripped off Dominos.

Anyway, back on topic, this is quite a feat, considering the non-extreme motherboard used. I'm really tempted to get one to replace my aging 2nd rig , but want to see more regular overclocks to get an idea what i can expect on air cooling or a simple water loop. |

AMD APU has been a decent overclocker. Very much like bulldozer,only more forgiving in terms of power consumption. Many user oc'ed their APU to 4-4,2ghz using air cooler,and 4,5-4,7ghz using water.
The only scary thing was that it needs vcore somewhere between 1,45-1,6v to achieve that speed,depending on the system used. Though certainly it can't compete with SB @4ghz. Still,pretty good nonetheless. |

I like that term "suicide run" lol. You can just imagine it posting a trillion gigglehurtz, a quick boot into Windows and the thing explodes into a ball of fire!
