AMD Bulldozer reaches 8.43 Ghz on liquid Helium

[Pestilence]

Any word yet when the NDA comes down? I'd love some benchmarks already

[VIP3R]

Congrats on the record guys, very impressive stuff.



Haters gonna hate.

Haven't posted here in a while, but I do a lot of lurking and learning. Congrats to all you guys on the team, you did an awesome job! Looking forward to NDA lift now!

I am glad to see you are back in the game Chew. Congrats on the record, you and your team members rock.

This is really exciting to be honest.

I don't play favorites, I just buy what's good. That said, this is like the Athlon x2 / Pentium 4/D era competition.

I don't even need to replace my 2600k, but I want a BD chip even more now!

[Stewie007]

Its looking good for "pliability" if you ask me. Definitely awesome to see a record with AMD attached, and hopefully it sticks for a while.

This is why I remain optimistic about BD. I won't be swayed by "leaked pricing" until I see real results....... (like these).

Bravo.

Amazing job Chew getting to 8429RPM!

Err, what were we talking about again?

AMD gets Guinness World Record for fastest CPU with overclocked octa-core FX processor

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/13/a...share_facebook

An overclock like this is so awesome but for Guinness to give a WR recognized as a 8-core processor overclocked is misleading. The majority of people will be like...omfg a 8ghz 8-core AMD when it is really an 8-core running on 2 core amd.
just sayin'

[Stewie007]

Actually, its a collection of modules containing two cores each. So, an 8 core Bulldozer has 4 modules, each containing 2 cores.

Single and dual overhead hampsters?

Unfortunately the NDA expiration date is under NDA until the NDA expires. No one is allowed to say when the NDA expires before it does.

I found this video link of the the actual session with more information on all the steps that went into this amazing event. All I can say is wow! I spilled my beer on my keyboard when I saw this!!! I had to switch keyboards to type this.

i love this version bro! hahahah

[trans am]

give them some freaking credit. Brian, Macci, Aaron and Simon not just to beating the wr but imo the best thing that has happened to AMD cpu since the A64 clawhammer days. It's unbelievable!

Standard practice for Hz goals, get over it.

However this kinda reminds me of the old FX days when Intel was going after Hz while AMD went for performance per cycle but this time its reversed Itll be interesting for sure what the outcome will be this time.

anyway you see an ivybridge 22nm with LIQUID HELIUM?....think...think fast

Ivy bridge is not unlocked sorry dude, so dont think fast only sandy bridge-E 3960X is unlocked fully and intel dont like helium at -273.3 degress temps

[Velhote]

We used a really cheap low power card for cpu-z screens, I forget what it was ( macci ) supplied it.

Everyone knows that card was responsible for such results.


You can't talk much about it, right?





Congrats for this outstanding achievement!!

nice.

[verndewd]

fx is back

sort of. not doing 2 IPC but definitely hitting a high note.

[Chrono Detector]

Really need more info on Bulldozer, I hate how we are kept in the dark, please AMD, release this ASAP.

Nice work on the overclock, I wonder if anybody will break the 9Ghz barrier soon.

[FlanK3r]

CHew: do u think, after 1/2 year in future, can FX broke 9 GHz? I think, 8.5 GHz+ will be about next months, but 9....?

Please read what I typed before you tell me to get over it. In the OC community, even the lack I know of it understands how records are run. I am just saying for a corporation like Guinness Book of World Records to acknowledge it as an 8-core processor OC'd at this speed is completely false and misleading to the general public.
If you can't comprehend that, then you need to go back to school and get edumacated( and yes this was mis-spelled on purpose strawboy).
