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

[AbelJemka]

how many reviews have you seen of i7 priming a 920 at 4.2GHz on air

How many reviewer use prime to test a CPU?

saaya said 4ghz+ only for good chips and 3,6ghz for pretty much every chip (on air).

Tony also said :

Charles its 100% true, whether you like it or not AMD is matching i7 for clock speed...not sure on what performance is like at these clocks though but if clock speed is your thing Intel has a problem for sure.

Now guys lets remember we have not seen facts and figures yet... but the clock speeds are true, Macci was in full control and I am sure there is more to come.

Who told you they were hand picked samples? i read they were random picked and this is an average of what you can expect.

For those asking if I was there, i was not, lots of friends were though and we supplied hardware for the show...as such i was able to ask questions as this story was breaking.

So maybe AMD handpicked CPU even a trusty member like Tony seems to think that's not the case, but some people her clearly handpicked comments...

And no real info about perfomance or clocks yet

There is a lots of info about performance and clock. We knw it can be worse performance than Phenom and we know it 3.6GHz primestable!
