AMD "Dragon" Overclocked to 6.3GHz

[XxVash28]

@MegaMnguyen

It's a codename

[boredutuber757]

well anyone can overclock a cpu so why is everyone tripping

[Hiben75]

People actualy go to watch that wtf

[JeemOfRunescape]

what can they do with a Phenom II x6 if they do this with x4?

[MrIbanez111]

in twenty years that will be a verry good playstadion 1 xD

[MrShaunhd]

that CPU with socket AM2+ ?! OMG

[ollebertsson]

[InfiniteSoft]

wow!!!!!!

[thelightguy1]

Interesting how all cores can maintain that speed (and stay stable.) This is one of the many reasons that I choose AMD for those "hardcore" tasks and tests.

[Stuna2150]

i always wonder why they dont go further then 6.3 Ghz .. if your running your CPU at that speed and your still in minus F and even minus celceus .. why not push it more ? why do you need to have a 6.3 at -200C ?

[PAC0TAC0]

theres a reason why u see amd cpus getting overclocking records and other records more than the new i7s cuz ther expensive and shit

[dulishaEGK]

@PAC0TAC0 no thats not the reason. You would get sponsorship from Intel and get free cpus. Its cause Intel is not targeting enthusiasts market they are targeting corporations market. And being able to overclock doesn't mean anything for corporations.

[DragonmightX]

Compare it to intels core i 7 processor and it will knock the blaze out of you.

[steveboutilier]

how about the cold bug problem with the i7's? AMD's Phenom II 940 can run -200C temperatures while the i7 cannot, also AMD has acheived a world record 3dMarks score of 45,000 with the Phenom II 940 OC'd to 6.5GHz. Intel is losing the race

[TheTrafficker85]

@steveboutilier This comment made me lol!

[AntDX316]

@steveboutilier but.. Intel is like 1.5x faster clock for clock than AMD.. minimum..

[Tha2ndWimp]

@steveboutilier There is no race. AMD is out. G_G

[aka47bro]

@steveboutilier dude what about phenom ii x6 1090t ,. how much is it overclockable.

u seem to know much, so i asked.

[AwesomeFace50]

@steveboutilier Who gives a fuck and thats on 1 core not all 6 or 4

[option350z]

Also its liquid helium which is colder than Nitrogen. Not really impressed.

[option350z]

It's an engineering sample as viewed in CPU-Z Don't use A different chip to post records. Use a retail when it comes out. That's how it's done.

[eskimo810]

Every core in this video is running at 6.3ghz, but things like the L3 cache or the bottlenecking by RAM or the videocard will never change or dissappear. So you won't be getting the performance of a "24ghz" CPU.

[eskimo810]

that doesn't mean it adds up to 24ghz if thats what you're thinking...

[TFKofBD]

it doesnt? Whoah. I thought that a quad core CPU has 4 cores running at the same frequencies

[eskimo810]

a core isn't the same thing as a full CPU. Cores within a CPU share things like cache and FSB. This limits their performance. Even if you had 4 true CPUs in a machine, all running at 6ghz or whatever, the performance doesn't "stack" and add up to 24ghz worth of performance. it might be only 2x-2.5x faster than a single CPU. It is a little misleading but make sense if you understand the difference between a "core" and a "CPU".

[TFKofBD]

Oh. So the speed of the L3 cache, the lag in the memory controller and the delay of the hypertransport ALL create bottlenecks. Therefore, even though we may have cores that run at 6 GHz, we wont have the actual 24GHz performance cos of the bottlenecks created by the existing buses. Am i right?

[eskimo810]

yeah, thats the idea. Performance would be brought down further by real world obstacles. Such as lack of multi-threaded support or even a motherboard and other components.

[TFKofBD]

Thanx for all your help bro.

TC

[bubbbaaa2000]

whats the record?

[hexo11]

yea right only AMD do this

[PANJOSS]

6.3GHz ...only amd can do this ;)

[Paragon21XX]

Someone overclocked a Pentium 4 to nearly 8.2GHz. So, no, AMD is not the only one who can do this. But still, this is quite impressive.

[option350z]

Considering he is doing it in windows, not so much. Many LN2 comps do this and they are using I7's now. I want to see stability.

[flinchey]

lol that hilarious

OMG WE CAN HIT 6+ghz

even though even superpi would be instant bsod...

[RipperLord]

6.5Ghz! yay... oh wait *BSOD* lol

[srhabb]

What software was he using to tweak with?

[99876654]

is that a program that you download or is it a built in feature of the new cpus ( i dont mean the cooling and stuff)

[Doddmond]

It's not just a general rule that the colder you make the CPU, the faster it can be clocked, is it? Cos there's the physical limits on the silicon and stuff aswell, so I believe.

[Leoooonard]

well then it will not melt your chipset..

[JSEProduction]

The best overclock was originally from Finland.

[sushlet]

WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS OF VALUES!!!!!!!!!!! bai sum liquid naitrojin heeeheeeeeeeejeeaer

[BatDude27]

why would we need to over clock the maximum any game requires is wats the specs without overclocking so why?

[magicmax0]

Its just marketing to try and convince people there above the competition. Even ethusiasts who do like to overclock, will generally do it on air, so there obviously more interested in how it does in those circumstances. Its still cool to see how far they can push their tech though, even if its not gonna make you go out and buy one.

[anantmishra]

Coz.................... FUCK INTEL!

[gemax002]

Great CPU, "bank for the buck" Got mine yesterday, 8th of jan AMD phenom II 940 am2+ overclocked CPU-cooler: V8 CoolerMaster (0.8 KG) multiplier:19 volt :1.45 volts clock :200 mhz Stable at 3.82 GHZ (runs anything) Upgraded from a Intel E6750 (stock 2.66, mine oced:3,6) It gave me a big performance boost. Benchmarks test confirm the Intel-i7 is faster, but I always check: Price/performance = AMD phenom II 940

[GraficOctane]

wat board do you have... and did u have to flash it?

[gemax002]

I use the Gigabyte DS4 with the 790x chipset . I needed the newest BIOS from the gigabyte site, and the settings are on youtube ;)

[Zenome]

Hector Ruiz gone = AMD leading the market again. It seems a good year awaits ahead for AMD's future has been restored. After many years of battering by Hector Ruiz, who only progress was to bash Intel with words instead of performance.

[mexboiii]

sweet, let me just get my spare liquid nitrogen that i had lying behind the peanut butter in the kitchen cabinet.

[f4phantom2500]

now if only i could get anywhere near that on air...

[KarnivorousK]

i know who the fuk has l20 in there house lol XD

[masaproductions]

said thing is i dont think any will have liquid nitrogen to do this and if they did they would need a lot

[JDRyder15]

Wow. I was not think I'd be upgrading anytime soon but wow. I just may have to look in to that when it comes out :D

[LoCoBoi187]

i whuz expecting more =[ love amd nd intel both tho

[aznlee43]

AM3 FTW. What OC program did they use?

[idleman5216]

AMD OverDrive or BIOS
