There seems to be plenty of misunderstanding around the 8.722GHz run on FX-8370.

Unlike some of the news falsely claim not all of the 4 compute units (8 cores) were operating at the frequency of 8.722GHz.
I have never claimed otherwise and honestly no one except Christian Ney even bothered to ask me.

The other compute units were clocked down to a lower PState, yet they were neither clock or power gated but in full power state (effectively C0 state).
Clock and / or power gating the other compute units or cores is quite common now days but thats not something I do.
Just as shutting down 3/4 of the compute units of the processor is just not my thing.
The way I currently do it mimics the normal behavior of Turbo Core. During low loads the idling cores will be clocked down.

ps. Some of you wondered how much power the chip draws at that voltage and frequency.
Based on the data measured previously the calculated power draw peaks at <140W immediately after the launch and then tapers down to 110W.
