Phenom 9950 at nearly 4.5GHz

[massman]

Just spotted this overclock:

4 cores, LN2, 1.86v.

[pxhx]

wow.. i'm wating to Phenom II!!!

[FatAlbert]

holy crap

the best cpu on the world ?

cherrypicked from amd ?

[redratamd]

Very good chip OMG . Some benchs runned ?

[George_o/c]

Owner of the cpu, if you are listening to me, run some benchmarks !

[knopflerbruce]

Quite a lot of speed between #1 and #2 - 375MHz. We all know that CPUZ has some frequency "glitches" (or what you call it) from time to time, and with such a superior chip I'd say a benchmark run at reasonable speed would be nice to have - just to verify that it's indeed correct. If I ever got a 4.6Ghz FX57 you bet I'd run at least 1m on it, not just do suicides

[pump101]

I want one!

This is the last batch of B3s,almost a B4 practically.I guess the chip wasn't quite stable for user to run tests,but if knocked off 100-200Mhz he would probably be able to run benchmark tests on it too.

Of course it's impossible to run tests at that speed, but at about ~60 - 80MHz lower, he'll for sure be able to run an SPi 1M run, just to clear things up and automatically crush a WR ('cause at ~4400MHz, one could crush AMD 1M WR while browsing xtremesystems.org )

Yep quite true.But don't forget that all that effort will last only about a month or so,since ~3.6Ghz Deneb would destroy that record while browsing xtremesystems.org

[George_o/c]

Actually it's 6 weeks , so I personally think it's kind of cool to have the AMD 1M WR for over a month

[TheKarmakazi]

very nice OC! cant wait for Q1-09 to see some really extreme AMD's

[ZoLKoRn]

Yaaahoooo nice to see AMD come back to the way well hope after Q1-09 we can see more extreme oc from AMD !!!

[tiborrr]

Major props to whoever achieved this. Really impressive run, this is how Phenoms should clock right at launch.

[natedog420]

this is great i hope they go higher but that is still good. was thinking of getting the new amd but not sure.

[Ozzfest05]

some one who clocks that hardcore would obviously post on hwbot considereing highest validation on hwbot is 3.9 I think this is a cpuz glitch

I think the same I can't remember having seen any WR's that have been THAT superior. Ever. Without any benchmarks it's hard to believe it...

This is not the case with AMD or Intel.

thats not true i had an E7200es and it clocked no better than any other E7200s

not to mention the 9950 isn't even a ES they are black edition chips which means they are all unlocked multi's

Only true during the first release of the CPU's and only part of the time even then.

[zif33rs]

Amazing OC...congrats to who ever got the golden chip..please post some benches! Think the record over at hwbot is in 4000-4100mhz range. So this crushing anything ive seen.


well done.

personnaly me hopes this comming year is a steller one for AMD !

Yeap, I'm not really buying it myself ... let's hope someone will clear this up

It's not a Deneb, it's an Agena
