AMD processor sets 8.2GHz record!!!

The Finnish extreme over-clockers “The Stilt” have set a new world record for clock speed. Using the AMD A10-6800K Richland APU, the guys managed to reach 8.2 GHz clock speed.



The AMD flagship chip was mounted on an ASUS F2A85-V Pro board and with the help of liquid nitrogen, the enthusiasts managed to reach a voltage of 2,008 volts and resulted in a core clock speed of 8,000.48MHz with its bus clock reading 126.99MHz.

The Stilt also found out that in an experiment that an x87-fix would increase the performance quite significantly in SuperPi. Meanwhile, the Finnish over-clockers managed to break their own record when they succeeded to hit a clock speed of 8,203.01MHz with a liquid nitrogen cooling system and voltage of 1,968V

The 8.2 GHz clock speed was possible with a multiplier of 63 and 130.21 bus clock. Check out the source link below for the world rankings of the over-clockers league.

Holy shit that's crazy. I wish my computer did that. AMD is pretty good, I have one. But I have always been an Intel boy. I bought my first AMD laptop (My current one) and I am satisfied with it.

That's hella fast, crazy to think about. Damn.

That's insanely stupid....in a good way. Imagine how hot that CPU got after a while. xD

That's so crazy, I'm starting to think AMD is much better than Intel.

Well, it was cooled with liquid nitrogen. I don't think it got too hot.

Wow, that's crazy. I would kill to have a processor like that.

That's freaking beast man.. I want one.

Pretty nice, AMD is starting to take up the market from Intel. Sadly these processors can't be used conventionally, still cool to see that people overclock for the sport.

It was probably below freezing... Lol

AMD is still nowhere near Intel in terms of what you get from your cores at higher budgets.

You can overclock the shit out of any CPU, but that still has its limits.
A CPU's speed is majorly influenced by the actual architecture of the CPU.

You're missing the point. This is just a competition to see how high you can overclock a CPU.
