AMD Phenom II X4 Processors Over-clocked @7GHz
The first company to bring processors into the GigaHertz space has done it once again with their phenomenal Phenom II quad core chip clocking at 7 GHz.
The team that achieved this goal used a 28 multiplier with a 250.1MHz bus clock on a 1.25GHz bus. The motherboard that was used for the testing was a DFI “LANParty” UT 790FXB-M3eH7 that sported a digital PWM. An AMD 790FX rev 00 NB and ATI SB750 rev 00 SB were present on the board, and the team also placed on it dual ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics boards, along with 2GB DDR3 dual-channel 667MHz RAM.
