AMD FX-8150 world record: above 8 GHz
The AMD Bulldozer processor showed a bombastic shape. There were no small traces of the cold bug phenomenon at extremely low temperatures.
The new eight-core processor, the AMD FX-8150, has reached an clock speed of 8429 MHz. Liquid helium was used for cooling, and only two cores were activated in the central unit, but at the birth of a world record, these are natural and permissible means. The record was set on August 31, but AMD only announced the news today.
By reaching 8,4 GHz, the AMD FX team (Sami Maekinen, Brian Mchlachlan, Pete Hardman, Aaron Schradin and Simon Solotko) broke the previous record set by an 8309 MHz single-core Celeron D 352. Of course, the result is unreplaceable at home, but tuning masters have revealed that reaching the 5 GHz limit can be achieved with an air cooler or a cheap water cooler.
The new record.
"This was the first time that AMD FX Zambezi processors went below minus 180 degrees Celsius. We are satisfied with the results. We didn't encounter the cold bug during extreme cooling, which could have prevented us from reaching really high clocks," said Simon Solotko.
