AMD FX Sets Guinness Record for Clock Speed

[Casecutter]

Who thinks they should be catching L-N without gloves?

Marketing exploit that probably bubbled-up with bad timing, but it is at least substantiate story.... it does constitute “news”.

The right thing was like cadaveca said, “AMD should have saved it for launch day” as just a "hey by the way"... But this was going to come out, trying to keep it hush with that many “named OC’rs” hoping to keep quiet.
I think AMD just figured let it out (rather than rumor) and collaborate that it was done.

It doesn't mean much IMO, but if it is a record that has stood for 5 years that’s an achievement.

Why is that dumb, I think chew or someone else mentioned that the batches are changing on weekly basis so the chips could actually be improving, and if you take a look of how much cherry picking it took the Celeron guys to get the right one! Same thing.
Cherry picked or not they overclock like nothing before.

And also, it's a god damn world record, records are usually broken in abnormal conditions.

I already stated in my previous post that sometimes these high clocks can translate in high stock clocks.

I never said anything about celeron, I am saying this is nothing to be excited about now had it been 5ghz on air stable on all 8 cores, paired with a release date people might actually give a damn.

Oh well...

Brian and Sami mentioned doing 5Ghz on air running fully multi-threaded benchmarks.

BTW has anyone seen this???

I love that a handful of people posted saying they didn't really care and wanted actual performance numbers, and that they wanted to see the chips available before AMD started talking about breaking records.

Then there were 2 pages of posts whining about AMD bashing. Seriously?

To be honest, it doesn't matter if the chip can go to 20GHz. If it underperforms it underperforms. P4's with Netburst clocked a LOT higher than Athlon XP's, but they were still weaker when it came to performance. As stated, Intel has already released some stuff for LGA2011, why can't AMD push out even 1 performance metric for Bulldozer?

I would have , But this is just , Well I do not know . what this was meant to do . It has us talking but not much beyond that . Nothing is really known other than with 2 cores ( Or One ) you can get high over clocks with MASSIVE power and the use of LN . I think that AMD is letting out this because much beyond that OC there is nothing . Sad but what else is there to go on ? I will wait , I am hopping the crown is taken from Intel but if not then so be it .

You miss the point .

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

Oh well...

And I have a gold plated toilet I really do but I can't be bothered to prove it, if your willing to believe spin go for but no proof = untrue.

True but, AFAIK P4 had lower IPC than P3 with higher clock, that's why it failed. BD has higher clock and higher IPC than Phenom II.

Well AMD is not Intel and they have their own policies on what to show and what not to show

I just quoted it from the guys that did the OC what more do you want?

I believe I have been pretty clear, some proof would be a step in the right direction. No CPU-Z validation, no benchmarks nothing, just some random dude saying he clocked an engi sample. .. very trust worthy source.:shadedshu

Yeah agreed . :shadedshu

Random dude? You have to be joking, right? They just happen to be one of the best AMD OC'ers in the world.
Let me quote AT then since you don't believe the "random" guys:

AMD was conducting overclocking experiments at the tech day and had three different stations setup for us to look at. The first used a sub-$100 closed-loop waster cooling solution from Antec (Kühler series). I can't tell you much about the chip itself other than it is an 8-core FX processor that AMD was able to overclock to 4.8GHz using the Antec Kühler.

And I bet that some CPU's will have no problem being stable at 5GHz with some tweaking.

Will see , But I am not going to put much stock in this till they launch the thing !

If you don't understand that if you can't prove it, then it's not true I don't know what to say to you. I'm saying it's fud no matter who says it unless they have proof to back it up which they do NOT! Like AMD would admit anything negative, of course they will promise the moon, it's what they deliver that matters, and as of this moments they haven't even given a release date, only FUD!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

And I don't know what to say to you either other than you clearly have no ideas who these guys are and how much have they accomplished.

I'll end here since I see you aren't interested in listening/reading anything.

Over and out.

[H]@RD5TUFF - That's all BS...

"Guinness World Record" means they would not able to say that unless it is verified and ‘substantiated by representatives’ from Guinness

Inconcievable!!!

 

[cadaveca]

Hmm, I can set my APU to like 10 GHz, doesn't mean it's actually running @ 10 GHz...CPU-Z shows it as whatever is set.










I think AMD hired a bunch of goons to pull a fast one on Guinness.

I can't find any relevant Guinness World Record that AMD has beaten.

And if I google I can find faster "processors".

So do they mean "the fastest overclocked x86 architecture"? And do they INTEND to make this a "Guinness world record" thing? Because there isn't one out there to beat! Amazing how "PR" goes viral.

LOL okay, because I point out there is no proof to their claims because they can't or won't prove it, I'm not listening, I think you don't understand what I am saying.

No one was questioning if the "record" was legit, people were saying they didn't care or that they weren't impressed. Did you even bother reading the thread before you came to QQ ?

I don't think it matters.

Reads page 1

bitching and whining

oh skips to page 4

same people bitching and whining about the same shit as on page 1

for gods sake if you people are just going to keep saying the same thing in a different way at least go and do it in GN where 3 pages of this crap belong, I am off to bed

 

[Steevo]

Mommy look at the trained monkeys on the forum arguing over if something is real or not!!!!


Do you think AMD would really lie and throw this out to the enthusiast community just for the lulz? Really?


If you can say that then I propose that Intel has bought off every major benchmark and review site the same way they bought their products into OEM's machines.

And there is no one to STOP ME!!!!! mwahahahahaha.
