PCPER.com: 5 GHZ+ Phenom II Overclock on Dry Ice, 6Ghz on LN2

[Calmatory]

It is a sensationalized press frenzy. That's *all* it is.

How mnay people are gonna have one of these things running at 6+GHz? Even if they get a chip that could do it. Maybe a 1000 people around the world tops? There aren't that mnay that are even capable of doing that. It takes an Xtreme OC'er that has the knowledge to do that.

These things *might* get to 4GHz on air. That's what people are looking for, not publicity stunts.

DrWho was just showing that it can be done with either brand. If you take a CPU and pull all the stops, and you have a Knowledgeable OC'er that's has the experience to do this it can be done.

Oh he'll do it. I'm glad he's doing it too.

Talks about Crysis @ +6 GHz. Show me any Intel QC doing +6GHz CPU-Z apart from dozen or so QX9770's. Besides, it was "just" 1,9 V. AMD's 45nm should take voltage better than Intel's 45nm, so that 2,1-2,2 V should possibly be no problem with better pot like F1 EE. Also this is the retail revision of their 45nm, future revisions shall show nice improvements, if there is anything to improve other than yields.

There has been pics of supposedly air cooled CPU-Z pics of 4GHz Deneb since the summer, C1 revision while the retail will be C2 afaik.
