AMD Bulldozer new world record for overclocking processors. AMD Bulldozer new world record for overclocking MediaTek Helio X20 processors really broke the AnTuTu record
Yesterday, with the permission of AMD, the first reliable results of overclocking a new generation of AMD processors, known under the codename Bulldozer, leaked onto the Internet. We won’t see performance results yet, but AMD guarantees us beautiful numbers.
A team of AMD engineers led by a Finnish company employee and a famous overclocker Macci, as well as the American guru of overclocking AMD platforms Chew in August 2011, she set a new absolute world record for processor overclocking. The AMD FX-8150 processor was overclocked when cooled with liquid helium to the frequency 8429 MHz, and the record was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
Details of the experiment are under the cut.
The announcement of AMD Bulldozer processors was repeatedly postponed, at first the public was promised sales would begin in mid-August, then the date September 19 appeared on one of the company’s promotional banners, but now it is already known for sure that the new generation of processors will be officially presented in October. Naturally, constant postponements of announcement dates have a negative impact on consumer attitudes towards the product, increasingly diminishing its capabilities. A few days ago, the first test results for Intel Sandy-E generation processors appeared on the Internet, which may have prompted AMD to take decisive action.
Many analysts have long suggested that AMD will still not be able to compete on equal terms in terms of performance at equal frequencies with Intel processors. After all, if AMD managed to overtake Intel for the first time in recent years, the information would definitely be leaked to the Internet. But since the results are kept in the strictest secrecy, there can be no talk of a full-fledged struggle. But as it turned out, everything is in order with frequency overclocking of the new AMD processors.
In his interview with NordicHardware Macci reveals the details of conquering a new record. When asked how many processors were tested to achieve the world record, an AMD employee replies that in Finland he tested seven AMD FX-8150 processors and 4 of them were able to reach the 8 GHz bar. The processors used for the record were chosen at random from a pallet of processors and had never been tested before either in air or nitrogen. To conquer the world record, the temperature properties of liquid nitrogen were not enough and liquid helium was used. The temperature at the time the record was taken was -235 degrees Celsius!!!
Naturally, not everyone will be able to use such cooling methods to achieve high frequencies, so the main question that interests most users is what frequency can the AMD FX-8150 processors achieve when using air cooling. As the authors of the experiment say, the frequency of CPU-Z validation and the stable frequency 24 hours 7 days a week differ greatly from each other. So, most of the tested samples were able to conquer the CPU-Z validation above 5 GHz in the air, and the best one achieved the frequency of 5.5 GHz. But for full stability at frequencies close to 5 GHz, very good air cooling will be required.
The new record brought hope into the hearts of AMD fans for the continuation of the competitive struggle between AMD and Intel. And we just have to wait for the first results of performance testing!!!

I have never seriously engaged in extreme overclocking, even though I have used liquid nitrogen more than once. For me, overclocking has always been not a competition, but a practical activity. After all, initially overclocking did not appear in order to compare who has more “parrots” in a particular benchmark. Overclocking arose from the desire of enthusiasts to make their systems a little faster. And save on it. Benefit is the first synonym for the word “overclocking”. And only then can we say that overclocking is a hobby and (cyber)sport. Now the opposite situation is observed in the computer components market.
Editor's column: goodbye overclocking
Taking their first timid steps in overclocking, novice enthusiasts changed the parameters of the clock generator. Back then there was no BIOS, much less third-party overclocking software. Simply, certain contacts were closed on the motherboard, and this made it possible to create a table with processor frequencies, which were selected manually. A little later, jumpers appeared on motherboards that changed the clock generator signal. The resource hwbot.org (alma mater of all overclockers) registered the results of the AMD Am386-40 (40 MHz) overclock, released back in 1991. A Portuguese enthusiast under the nickname WoOx3r managed to overclock this “stone” to 50 MHz (that is, by 20%) and pass the Super Pi 1m test in “some” 69 hours 36 minutes and 32 seconds. In less than three days. The current record in this discipline is 5.78 seconds, achieved using an Intel Core i7-3770K (Ivy Bridge) chip overclocked to 7136 MHz. It's a funny comparison, but in 1991 the difference of 20% was quite noticeable. Let me remind you that AMD Am386-40 was once produced using a 1000 nm process technology and consisted of 275 thousand transistors. The model with a clock frequency of 40 MHz was the top model, and the “stone” with a speed of 12 MHz was considered the running one.
First world record achieved with AMD Am386-40 CPU
But it's all nostalgia. Later, the processor giants, as they say, felt which way the wind was blowing, and began to cater in every possible way to the just emerging subculture of computer enthusiasts. Among Intel and AMD processors, models with an unlocked multiplier have begun to appear, which significantly simplifies the overclocking process. For other models, it was always possible to overclock by increasing the bus frequency. Motherboard manufacturers also helped by releasing more and more sophisticated devices. The result is known: today overclocking is widely used by marketers, and any self-respecting office will certainly have a device that overclocks itself perfectly or helps overclock other components. And the best overclockers in the world are under contracts with one manufacturer or another. However, overclocking itself ceases to be a profitable activity for those who want to save money. If we consider it as a sports component, then only the most expensive and sophisticated devices are listed here. Otherwise, you won't get any records.
The record for overclocking a central processor belongs to the Finnish overclocker The Stilt. Using liquid nitrogen, he managed to overclock the AMD FX-8370 to 8722.78 MHz!
As a matter of fact, the first signal was the release of Sandy Bridge central processors, when initially only two models with an unlocked multiplier were presented. The remaining processors lost the ability to overclock by increasing the clock frequency of the generator - the BCLK parameter was simply blocked. With the advent of Haswell processors, the situation has changed somewhat (CPU Strap presets have appeared, allowing you to set the bus frequency in a certain step), but the trend is not. In addition, terrible quality thermal paste was placed under the heat distribution cover of these chips. As a result, even with slight overclocking (and Haswell’s overclocking potential is good), throttling and overheating were observed.
As a result, today in Intel's understanding, an overclocked processor, that is, a chip with an unlocked multiplier, is an expensive processor. All budget models have a fixed multiplier. The only exception is the Pentium G3258 model, which was presented to enthusiasts as a kind of gift - in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Pentium brand.
There is no talk of any savings in this case.
Intel Pentium G3258 is Intel's cheapest central processor to date
Now things are more or less the same for AMD. For the current FM2+ and AM3+ platforms, there are plenty of processor models with an unlocked multiplier. Including budget ones. Only the logic of the “reds” in this matter is clear: the company is now in no position to impose its conditions on the market, and in no case can it lose some of the enthusiasts committed to this brand.
The second point that is not in favor of overclocking is technical progress. This problem, in my opinion, is more serious than the decision of the marketers of one company (in the end, today they want it, tomorrow they will change their minds). Unfortunately, the release of modern processors and video cards shows that overclocking potential is a kind of rudiment that will later have to be abandoned. Indirect signs are already noticeable today.
The leader in the overall team standings among overclockers at the time of writing this column was Team Russia, well ahead of the “hodgepodge” (representatives from different countries) called PURE. A large number of enthusiasts and overclockers is the calling card of our country.
Intel has released a series of Broadwell architecture central processors manufactured using the 14 nm process technology. I tested the Core i5-5675C model. These chips have a very short life cycle, but this is secondary. The problems that Intel encountered during the transition to the 14-nanometer process technology significantly delayed the release of these solutions (by more than a year). And besides, these processors do not race. At all. And this is logical, because initially Broadwell’s clock speeds are lower than those of Haswell. I think that with the transition to 10- and 7-nm technological processes, the problem will only get worse.
Intel Broadwell central processor, which frankly does not want to overclock
In June, AMD introduced the Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card, which is equipped with innovative HBM memory. Next year NVIDIA will release something similar - new graphics adapters will be based on Pascal architecture. Here the situation is repeated, as in the case of Broadwell processors: the graphics processor is overclocked to a maximum of 100-120 MHz (and a water cooling system is used!), changing the memory frequency is blocked (although some find a way to bypass this limitation). This is all due to the complex layout of the GPU and HBM chips on the same substrate, as well as the non-trivial mode of interaction between them.
According to available information, Max1024 set a world record by overclocking the chip to 3898.8 MHz, which is 5 MHz more than the previous record held by Norwegian knopflerbruce.
As you know, the AMD FX-60 processor, which is legendary among overclockers, was released in 2006, and its cost exceeded 1 thousand dollars.
At the beginning of this year, the Chinese company Lenovo announced a laptop computer called the ThinkPad Helix 2, and now the developers have announced the start of sales. The device, which costs $979, is a real hybrid, the key feature of which is support for the “2 in 1” mode - the new product based on the Intel Broadwell platform easily converts from a tablet to a laptop, and vice versa. To do this, you just need to remove the keyboard.
Maxim said that he purchased his record-breaking chip for $200 at the beginning of 2010, and liquid nitrogen helped him overclock the processor to 4 GHz.
The young man is a member of the Belarusian overclockers team Belarus OC Team, which ranks 65th in the world rankings among 3 thousand overclocker groups.
Meanwhile, the concept of a computer from the future from DELL is presented.

GeForce GTX 980 GPU overclocked to 2.2 GHz
Swedish overclocker elmor managed to increase the clock frequency of the new GM204 graphics processor to 2.2 GHz, simultaneously setting a new record in the 3DMark test. As a result of experiments with hardware voltmodding, liquid nitrogen and a bit of luck, an enthusiast from Sweden managed to boost the graphics chip of the original ASUS STRIX GTX 980 video card to 2202 MHz. The GPU reached this value after GPU Boost acceleration, while the base frequency was 2069 MHz. The adapter's memory was also overclocked from 7000 MHz to 8392 MHz.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti GPU overclocked to 2025 MHz
A few months ago, EVGA, with the direct participation of Vince “k|ngp|n” Lucido and our compatriot Ilya “TiN” Tsemenko, developed the original GeForce GTX 780 Ti model, called the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified K|NGP|N Edition. The provided hardware modifications suggested the ability to increase the frequency potential of the graphics adapter. It is now obvious that the efforts of enthusiasts were not wasted. The team managed to increase the clock frequency of the graphics processor in Boost mode to a record 2025 MHz on a selected copy of the video card.
6.5 million dollars and 10 cents - a new record for the cost of digital photography
Designer Jeff Frost sold his photograph “Standing in a Circle” for $6.5 million and 10 cents, beating the price of another acclaimed photograph that sold for $6.5 million the same week. Obviously, this event will remain the subject of debate in the art world for many years. As you know, the installation captured in the photograph is located in California, and it is intended to create people’s own rituals for any purpose.
Qualcomm may develop an updated version of the Snapdragon 810 specifically for Samsung
Numerous reports of problems with overheating of the Snapdragon 810 processor do not stop manufacturers from equipping their mobile devices with this chipset. For example, LG preferred the eight-core Snapdragon 810 when developing the G Flex 2 smartphone. In turn, Qualcomm said that the heating level of the same G Flex 2 with Snapdragon 810 on board is optimal. This was followed by information that Samsung had decided to abandon the problematic component in favor of its own Exynos processor.
LG will release a smartphone based on its own Odin processor
LG intends to release a new smartphone that will be equipped with a processor of its own design. According to available information, LG will present a mid-range smartphone. This will be a device based on the G3 model and will have a similar name. The new product uses a processor called Odin, which was developed by LG specialists. Unfortunately, detailed technical specifications of a smartphone based on this chip have not yet been announced. As for the processor itself, it is based on the ARM big.LITTLE architecture and contains ARM Coretex-A15 computing cores.
Samsung Galaxy S6 set an absolute record in AnTuTu
Galaxy S6, the upcoming flagship from Samsung, was tested in the famous AnTuTu benchmark program. The device with the code marking SM-G925W8 was tested. According to the test results, the Samsung Galaxy S6 scored 60,978 points. This is the highest result among smartphones to date. Thanks to the same AnTuTu benchmark, we were able to find out the technical characteristics of the device with the above-mentioned markings. The device is powered by the Exynos 7420 processor. This is a Samsung chip manufactured using a 14nm process technology. The ARM Mali-T760 graphics accelerator operates in tandem with the main processor.
MediaTek Helio X20 really broke the AnTuTu record
Yesterday, detailed specifications of the MediaTek Helio X20 processor became known, which received ten cores with varying performance. Among them there are eight Cortex-A53 cores, divided into two groups and providing a balance between performance and energy efficiency. Two more Cortex-A72 cores with a frequency of 2.5 GHz are responsible for ensuring maximum performance. At the same time, the network received information that the reference device scores more than 70,000 points in AnTuTu, which is a phenomenal result for the Taiwanese manufacturer.
iPhone 6 processor test reveals lag behind Galaxy S5
Any day now, sales of the new Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones will begin, the design of which uses a processor belonging to the second generation of the family of proprietary 64-bit Apple processors. Obviously, today the most pressing question concerns its performance, which can now be judged thanks to the Basemark X test data. So, the iPhone 6 received 21204.26 points during the test, and was ahead of its predecessor iPhone 5s, which received 20253.80 points.
