    Damn, thats pretty impressive. Too bad thats not achievable under more obtainable/normal circumstances. If it was, there would be a GINORMOUS increase in AMD sales. lol

    Well, at least they have SOMETHING to boast about now though. AMD still pales in comparison with Intel, but its a start! Now c'mon AMD, release something to make Intel sweat a little.
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    I'm not a gamer but I would REALLY like to have seen them play a game of crysis on that rig that's some o/c.

    +rep for the find.

    Man, if everyone had a couple thousand to blow on running their computer at 6.5ghz even once a week, AMD would be ontop. But sadly normal people don't. Phenoms may be great at extremely low temps, but a normal ones they still get beat by their Intel counterparts.

    I've heard the Phenom II hitting 4ghz on air. They are definitely back in the game with intel. It performs up there with the i7's and really they should not be compared due to the Phenom II still using DDR2 and the i7 using DDR3. Either way, I'm going to wait a while before I upgrade my cpu at all, not sure if I'm staying AMD or crossing over to Intel, I'd like to stay AMD because they always make stuff that is a better bang for my buck.
