8370? 200$ and a 8.72 GHz over clock?

Some new hopes for the guys running am3+

Until AMD comes out with an entirely new architecture, there is no "hope."

8.7222 is just a number.

I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

Which no regular consumer will ever achieve anything close to...

 

AM3+ is just not an enthusiast socket, and never will be.

Hey guys you probably already know this but and is in fact releasing a set of 8370 processors not 9370, 8370 and on their own website they say that they have reached a 8.7222 GHz overclock

http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases/Pages/amd-fx-8370-2014sep02.aspx

That overclock is irrelevant, same would be true for an intel chip at that clock. It's not USABLE, they get that with crazy voltage and exotic cooling. Those chips wouldn't last a week running like that, a particular chip getting some massive world record OC doesn't magically make every other chip faster or better. Just like some guy having a 1200HP V8 Mustang doesn't make a base model V6 any better. When it comes to the performance of a chip overclocks like that are less relevant then what kind of shoes you're wearing when you buy the dammed thing.

 

 

As it stands now AM3+ has some things to offer in the area of cost-to-performance but that's it. Any serious enthusiast goes intel and there's a dammed good reason for it. AMD said they have new chips on the way and these are a stopgap measure to tide people over until they arrive. Do not take these tweaked 8xxx chips for anything that they aren't and what they most certainly aren't is New.

LN2 scores are largely irrelevant.

In the low 5GHz is about as much as the good chips can do on a custom loop.

 

 

 

wasn't this with liquid helium and not LN2?

 

I thought I saw a video on youtube about it awhile ago

 

Also comparing scores on HWBOT not to long ago, the 8350 @ like 8.7 ghz was scoring less than a 4770k at 7.2 kept up with it and beat it in most benchs:

Might be LHe. IIRC the last GHz record was on a FX8150 and a Celeron 352 following close behind.

But yes the IPC gap is like 90% so at pretty much any OC it'd lose :P

The kind of exotic cooling doesn't change the fact that this kind of overclocking is irrelevant when it comes to the performance of the chips.

I was just asking if it was with liquid helium and not LN2 like he said.  I wouldn't of asked if I hadn't seen that fancy video  :wub:
