The Athlon 64 FX Overclocked to 3 GHz

Sidney · 25th July 2005, 16:51

It's nothing new that the Athlon 64 offers at least the same performance as the Pentium 4 while running at a far slower speed. That said, in the last two years power loss values have risen to such levels with Intel devices that the manufacturer is now vulnerable on two fronts.

With the introduction and progressive optimization of 90 nm manufacturing technology, AMD will now also be able to push the envelope beyond the psychologically important 3 GHz real clock speed mark. That is a mark that Intel can only just beat with its latest dual-core Pentium D.

Just because they are both doctors; it doesn't mean they have the same speed

I am the speed king

It is proven again

jmke · 25th July 2005, 19:40

correction, you "were" the speed

The Senile Doctor · 25th July 2005, 19:56

I have redefined my boundaries to 300 kph instead of 3.0 ghz

Sidney · 25th July 2005, 19:59

For those THG staffers in California, 300kph is 186 Mph

jmke · 25th July 2005, 20:00

I didn't know you were allowed to drive 300kph in Belgium

The Senile Doctor · 25th July 2005, 20:11

are you allowed to overclock your cpu? or does it void your warranty?

jmke · 25th July 2005, 20:14

do you get a speeding ticket from the .BE government for Overclocking?
