The Saga of 7ghz on AMD Phenom II on Dragon Technology is here. An epic journey taken by overclockers across the land. The third in the trilogy that began with The Experiment and continued with Xtreme Conditions can now been seen by all. Enjoy as World Records are shattered, new cooling methods deployed, and the threshold of 7ghz is crossed. For more visit links.amd.com

Watching this video shows how stupid computing has become. 7 Ghz? What is the point? I used to be an “AMD fanboy”, supported them for years, always wanted to support the “little guy”… AMD is no longer little. Intel could crush AMD if it wanted to. At least Intel is kind enough to let AMD exist. When it comes to low power and less heat, Intel leads the way!
@uetzel lol it doesent matter crysis only uses 2cores
Amd kicks ass, and ati videocards too, nvidia and intel can suck my ass
can they overclock the gpu this way aswell? …and if they do would they please run crysis at max? xD like at 500 fps?
@acefilms2008 i do think that 3d mark there showing matters. the i7 could never in a million years overlock that high and get that kind of score. now shut up and go enjoy your “hyperthreading” while we enjoy REAL cores
@BKsMassive well i wouldnt say its shit but hyperthreading is over exaggerated. sure it helps slightly when your doing some thread heavy programs but not when gaming or anything else. it actuly slows down alot of games when you have ht enabled. intel is just kinda in over there heads a bit by overpricing and hyperthreading alot of there new processors “core i3 and i5 dualcores”
@starscream0169 lol thats not fake.
No foolish child. You are an amd fanboy. My last intel system was when pentium 4 was considered high end. While intel does perform better, they are overpriced. Obviously it is for showing capabilities but why is it important when it cant be applied in the real world? Dont give me that future crap. Everyone already knows processors are getting faster and faster so thats no surprise.
the intel only has 2 more mb of l3 cache.
bus speed is the same.
and bollocks is it cooler.
also remeber the x4 is now one year old when the i7 is like 2 months.
wait for the Phenom x6! >=)
6 cores!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your properly a intel fan boy. because the i7 is shit.
its to show was the processor is capable of and what me might see in the future.
the i7 line won’t even work under liquid helium.
onlyyyy fakeeee!!!!!!
actually i think it was liquid helium
How do you know?
Seems like a big waste of time and money to me. Highly impractical and nobody can use this so who cares about the limit?
mm yes but number of physical cores also counts, die size, transistor count ect… try the core i7 860 and the Phenom 2 x4 965 both quads, both 45nm, i dont know thransistor count… pin count is larger on the core i7 but thats cuz intel pwns.. and though expensive you do indeed get a much bigger bang for the buck with a nehalem PC
here me nnow clock speed dont matter… it does increase preformance but if it was all about clock speed, than why does a core i7 860 at 2.8GHz beat the AMD phenom 2 x4 965 @ 3.5GHz? Processor core, pin count, Cache, bus speed, archiechture amd many other facotrs count in… i bet intel can beat that 3dmark score with lower temps and voltages and with less ware and tear to the CPU
I’m talking Phenom VS Athlon II, not Phenom VS athlon or Phenom II vs Athlon II. An Athlon II will typically outperform a Phenom with the same number of cores unless there’s a huge difference in clock speed.
Phenom/Athlon = AM2, Phenom II/Athlon II = AM3 mostly.
clock speed isnt everything as stated. although it does go hand in hand it is not the sole factor of what makes or breaks a chip, I7 for example, the clock speed on the I7 is nothing impressive. the QPI is what makes that chip so damn nice. and then motherboard that compliment the core so well
i don’t know what you consider last generation Phenoms but the Athlon X3’s dont even come close to the Phenom 940 and up, like i sed idk what you classify as “last” generation though. the reason we dont have speed higher than 4ghz is because silicon cannot be cooled in a productive manner at much higher clock speeds unless your using nitrogen but then that’s not practical in everyday use. i would rather have a CPU with a bigger buss and more cache than a fast crazy fast clock
Clock speed is the centre of the P.C. universe.
If you don’t believe me, load up World In Conflict on to that old Pentium 90 in your attic.
Now try again on your 3.5Ghz Nehalem.
See what I mean?
We need to lobby Intel for 12 Ghz processors by the end of the year.
Let’s start a campaign.
Clock speed isn’t everything dude. We’ve got smaller processes, more cores, more cache, less power consumption, all new architectures, and ye, even a slight increase in clock speed. AMD’s budget cpu’s, he Athlon II line, are hovering around 3GHz, and easily outperform the previous generation Phenom processors. And don’t even get me started on intel…the Nehalem cpu’s are an amazing feat of engineering, expensive though they may be.
I need at least 15 Ghz to play Gauntlet Legends on M.A.M.E.
what?
you dont need anymore CPU power ¬¬
noob.
this processer can be overclocked to 4.0Ghz easy and also the i7 will mince Crysis 2.
6 years ago 2004, 2Ghz was NOT the top of the line processor. There were already P4’s in that age that ran 3.4 – 3.6 at an affordable range. Don’t BS about what you’re uncertain of. Especially not on a video full of nerds that know exactly what they’re talking about.
