AMD's Bulldozer Pushed to 8.46 GHz, Breaks Own Record
Another handful of megahertz, another record.
AMD's Bulldozer has the honor of being in the Guinness Book of World Records for achieving the Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor.
The record set on August 31, 2011, in Austin, Texas by "Team AMD FX," a group comprised of overclocking specialists working alongside top AMD technologists, reached 8.429 GHz, breaking the previous record of 8.308 GHz.
Now that Bulldozer is available for public consumption, an overclocker named Andre Yang claims to have pushed the chip to 8.462 GHz. He did so with a core voltage of 1.992V on an Asus Crosshair V Formula motherboard.
Somebody call Guinness.

Still slow. Requires own power station.
pretty amazing accross 2 cores, not the usual 1 core.
big deal... it would only be relevant if it can match or beat intel in the real world market, it cant so its pointless sales hype.
I suspect the two cores is due to the architecture of the new AMD chips. Their cores aren't the same as conventional cores
just one question what is the MAX STABLE OC, thats the only thing that counts. i dont care what anyone tries to tell themselves, if the OC aint stable it aint worth mentioning.
if the max stable oc is 8.4 thats worth mentioning. if not i dont care. or are you considering sitting there with an open pc and nitrogen can? and a huge monthly bill for nitrogen.
