Sami Makinen, Sampsa (Sampsa) Kurri, Petri (SF3D) Korhonen, and Pete Hardman managed to push the long-awaited Bulldozer to 8.43 Ghz and had the record registered by the Guiness Book of Records as the fastest frequency for a computer CPU ever, beating the previous 8303 Mhz held by an older Intel CPU. The sample of the AMD FX CPU was a 8-core model and liquid Helium was used for the event, wich was held on 31 August.







The game changer we've all been waiting for? Only time will tell. However, it is still an engineering sample, so it could only get better. Sure some of us will still buy Intel but its important that AMD come up with a competitive chip so enthusiasts and gamers don't pay an arm an a leg for a CPU. Intel may choose to reveal their hand at Intel Developer Forum. This fourth quarter will surely be exciting one for the tech and gaming industries.

Shit just got even more real now... First 7Ghz now 8Ghz + WTF!!!!

Watch how many people jump on the AMD bandwagon now.

with 8ghz you would :S

p.s buying more shares in AMD

2.016V on the CPU xD

*News flash* Intel suddenly tries to release Ivy Bridge Earlier. <-- think that will happen?

RAM Speed : 906.4 MHz (3:10) @ 2-16-2-22 :>

TRCD lol

Hahaha

In the article they could only get 4.8 using an antec kuler. So that is on par or worse than a 2600k need to see proper benchmark results.

I was briefed yesterday about a pretty cool feature of the Bulldozer architecture. Definitely very useful for desktop & gamers if it works well.

Do not tease us bud, just tell us

it only took them how long to beat a celeron LOL

Dude, Cedar Mill loves cold

so, still took em ages lol

Karma IT to be the first consumer to reach 9001 mhz

lol
