Although there are some doubts over the point as why an out dated benchmarker is used as many believes that some other CPU specific software, such as 3DMark 06 or such should have been used to strees the CPU for a longer period of time to test the stability of the over-clock, however it is a dream for all those who over-clocks to reach such extreme speeds.

I like records and dislike monopoly. Good job AMD…give Intel a run for their money.
