Yeah it ain't a world record. The world record is 8GHZ on Intel P4(Cedarmill) but it's way too much Ocing capability for a processor which costs less than 8K & perfect for an affordable setup.
Heck even i bought my 3200+ for 9350/- 3 years ago & this is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy better than my processor.

I m sure whoever overclocked it used Ln2 but it can be easily clocked at 3.8GHz with air cooling & as the news says it can be turned to a quad core processor.
Overall, with this price point & future proof capabilities, this is perfect competitor for Core2 Duo for the same price range.

It will be a misjudgment for this processor if it is compared with Core i7.
