+1 for the phrase "suicide run." Also sounds like a good band name.

Nice clocks. Glad to see the design scale so well...I wonder what sort of overclocks we'll get on air?


Very tempted to buy one of these chips to play with.

In general I see this as more of a suicide boot, not a run. It sort of implies it was done in effort to "run" something other than just Windows.

I like that these have the ability to go that far, but personally would have preferred to see 95% OC running a bench, or even something as lame as Crysis with ridiculous frame rates

AMD had Black Edition processors for ages...

K stands for Black in the color process CMYK, Cyan Magenta, Yellow, and Black.

How could he overclock the integrated GPU? I run A6-3400M on 2.4GHz, but I do not have clue to overclock the GPU part... Please share with me if possible

The A8-3870K equals the A8-3870 Black Edition

Instead of saying two words more you only say one letter...it's more efficient

The K in the K(Number) means Core 10/Core 15 and such

Nice I think my sample comes in soon. Will deff need LN2 session. i love AMD LN2 sessions, you can just fill up the pot, no CB no hassle.

if AMD can get trinity worked out right then we might get a new performance king

You mean from 40 to 45 fps? Nah man, no system on this earth can run Crysis smoothly, evva!

Pentium 4 3.0GHz
60 FPS

Used my old computer with a 480GTX high enuff to make it look good

Indeed, I was kidding.

Except for when theres an explosion or lot's of AI, where it's 5fps.

The lowest is 30fps unless I look at the water.... where it is 1 fps

He's got an unlocked CPU which allows changes to both GPU and CPU portions of the chip.

You've got a locked chip so you're out of luck.
