its the fastest 7 ghz.

will it run crysis.... stuff.

Depends on GPU(not in question->, CPU wise, Yes, it will run just as a ~5ghz core i7.

high 5's i guess, since crysis is able to use 4 cores, and not 8 threads so only IPC will be in force vs a i7.

only reason why we cant run crysis(at vhigh2560x1600) is gpu gpu gpu, not that CFX 900 Mhz core based 4870x2 is weak :p (like 4890oc times 4 in cf)

i don't see core i7 reaching 7ghz, well that's probably because core i7 is too good to be overclocked.

Every few months there is one of these "Hits >X< GHz!!!" news tidbits. I'll play along: this was done on air? Oh wait, photo from the link:

http://www.aijaa.com/img/b/00344/4434335.jpg

How long was the setup viable for? Hours? Or could the duration be measured in minutes and seconds?

For vast majority of consumers including probably in excess of 99.9% of hardware enthusiasts and overclockers out there (including just about everyone on this forum) this is impractical and from my own personal perspective it is quite pointless as well. Unless I can run it 24/7 in a workstation-like environment then it's just Discovery channel malarkey. I mean, if I need to get a hazmat license and make sure there is a local government representative present during my overclocking sessions, then maybe it's not about overclocking anymore. Also, there is something that is almost never mentioned in these articles (probably since it would ruin the glamour of it), but many times the equipment involved is trashed after only a single run, successful or not. CPU's, motherboard's and all.


Of course, the marketing benefits for AMD and Intel (depending on which platform is involved) are pretty obvious. However, other than the raw "Ripley's Believe It Or Not!" factor of these news tidbits, I don't see anything tangible for the consumer or even for the hardware enthusiast.

I put this on the same level as that article from few years ago when somebody built a computer case out of LEGO bricks and then the whole thing melted down and set the room on fire.

wow lol...

I saw that years ago, however that is worth about as much as this is here. Just because it can be done by professional scientists certianly doesn't mean everyone will have 500GHz processors in thier computers. That and I highly doubt that it was anywhere near stable to do anything.

o it was stable they just used a very very minimal amount of transistors meaning the less you have the harder you can push them....it may have been at 500Ghz but with the limited transitors i bet a regular i7 could out bench it.

nothing my q6600@3ghz cant beat :p, yea i dout they could do anything but look in bios or something to tell the clock speed. then again at those speeds windows should already be boots up .00005sec after pressing the power button :p :laugh:

"Every few months there is one of these "Hits >X< GHz!!!" news tidbits. I'll play along: this was done on air?......bla bla"

You Missed the point Pall!
It is important to make things like that, and not because 7Ghz will be so cool in a rig, simpli just because it shows that the "die" is constructed well and has a lot of potencial!
It Shows when You buy a PhenomII CPU, it has overclocking headroom in it, maybee just a few Ghz but it can run faster! And that is the point!!

Core i7 is a good processor but it has less headroom for overclockers and is way more cash than a PhenomII (speciali when you must buy a motherboard and 3 DDRIII RAMs)

ps: And when it has no point at all!
Than what's the point to build tha fastest car or the fastest aircraft, or the tallest building?

The Point is that it "Shows" it is possible!

Actually the only reason this processor has more oc headroom is because it starts at a lower speed. The i7 920 starts at 2.66ghz and goes to 4.4GHz with water... hot bastards... but rememer the northbridge is on the processor so natrually it runs hotter than AMD

that was true about 2 months ago, but now the only difference between an i7 build(920) and an AMD build is bout 50$, yea a difference but negligible as its enthusiasts that buy these builds usually so 50$ isn't that big a deal compared to someone that's on a 400-600$ budget.

i agree with your other statements, it definitely shows how the CPU has potential and how far AMD have come from their stumble with Phenom I.

7gigahurtz of wasted moneys and useless speed.

now clocked at even 5ghz 24/7, that's a feat, 7ghz under ice for a phenom 2 is nothing special, just a little bit higher than before.

good work to whoever overclocked it, you lucky bastard (probably) with sponsors.

That does not make much sense since AMD has had an integrated NB for years now, ever since the first Athlon 64 back in September 2003!

Yeah I just found that out... i7 only has the memory controller, doesn't actually have the northbridge.

Lol at the flamebait.

Interesting to see 7Ghz, I wonder how fast it could crunch if it were stable.
