Default Re: AMD scores 6GHz on Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition

How does this 6 GHZ thingie perform? Hope it beats the 2.6 GHZ COre i7
It will in gaming and other single or dual threaded benchmarks, but there is no point, to beat an i7 you want to go LN2 cooling and 6Ghz? I will be impressed if it beats it at stock speed....In multithreaded benchmarks that support all 8 of nehalems threads, i think the core i7 may still edge ahead.

What ! 4.3 Ghz on air cooling. Where ? In syberia ? What's the ambient temp ? What's the idle & load temps ?Phenom 2 reaches hardly 3.5 Ghz stable max if I'm not wrong.
Yeah. I also want to know the source of 4.3Ghz on air cooling ?
If its not stable, its not an overclock....I had OC'd my i7 to 4.2Ghz on stock cooling but there was no point....Now on W/C i can get it max stable at 3.9Ghz

Quote:
P2 920 can be OCed to 3.75GHz on stock cooling, verified.
Just google^
so? i7-920 can be ocd to 3.3-3.4 on stock cooling stably....beats amd, it will still take them time to come bak.
