AMD presented its latest Bulldozer architecture to the press and tech
enthusiasts in its tech day held recently. The main purpose of holding
these tech days is to make the press understand, how their new
architecture performs, in what way it’s better than its predecessor and
what are all the real potentials of the processors using that
architecture. Benchmark test won’t be conducted during these tech days,
which will be done by major benchmarking websites and reviewers when
they get their sample. These tech days are held usually by AMD and
Nvidia, whereas Intel uses Intel Developer Forum (IDF) for the same
purpose.
Three Distinct Demonstrations held for AMD Bulldozer Overclock
The people of AMD held a small demonstration of AMD Bulldozer overclock
with extreme cooling systems in the Lone Star campus in Austin, Texas.
They had also presented some details to a specialized members of the
press (can not disclose as it should be under NDA). Maekinen Sami
(Macci) and Brian Mchlachlan (Chew) the world’s most talented AMD
overclockers were present there.
First Demo – AMD Bulldozer overclock Using Antec Kuhler
During the first phase of overclocking using a sub 100 $ closed-loop
water cooling system from Antec Kuhler series, 8 Core AMD FX-8150P
Bulldozer has been taken to 4.8 GHz.
Second Demonstration of Overclocking
During the Second phase of AMD Bulldozer overclock, they
used a phase change cooler to overclock its 8 Core Bulldozer FX-8150P
processor, with which AMD managed to attain 5.894 GHz clock frequency at
1.632 V.
Final Phase of Overclocking
AMD decided to go with the most advanced level of cooling its FX processor, for which it used liquid Helium solution, which is more powerful than liquid Nitrogen based cooling. AMD Bulldozer overclock took away the Guinness World Record and attained 8.429 GHz clock frequency, exceeding the previous record of 8.308 GHz.
