    AMD Bulldozer FX 8150 at 8429 MHz

    A few weeks ago I got a call inviting me down to AMD's office down in Austin,Texas for a preview of their upcoming Bulldozer line of cpu's.
    Can I say it took me almost 12/100's of a nanosecond to say yes?
    Beautiful location, warm friendly people that went out of their way to make you feel welcome.
    Part of the day was spent watching an overclocking session with Brian McLachlan(*chew),Sami Mäkinen( Macci),Aaron Schrader
    (Ghengiskhan)Pete Hardman and Simon Solotko(64Nomis)doing the camera work.
    Their goal was to break the existing frequency record of 8307MHz thats been held by Intels celeron going all the way back to 2004.
    In this world of records that last maybe a month if your lucky this one has stood with small changes for almost SEVEN YEARS!
    Like most of you I thought no one will ever touch this as todays multi core cpu's are much more intricate than the older single core cpu's and this AMD FX 8150 is a eight core cpu not a single.
    Now you guys know these people I mentioned above and they are talented and driven individuals and they accomplished their goal!

    I'll have a thread on the whole trip in a few weeks as it was a trip that I'll remember for a long time.

    something tells me a few 16 C interlagos processors disappeared.
    something also tells me they will reappear on WCG in a few days,

    MM we know(atleast we think) you have already played with one on the grid. Now WE WANT NUMBERS.

    edit: something tells me BD is a beast because of MM's avatar change.
