Look at the AMD overclocking results, not the Intel Developers Forum

Although the record was set a few weeks ago, we didn’t have a chance to see it until today.  A group of overclockers pushed a new AMD FX 8150 Bulldozer chip up to 8.429GHz which breaks the old record for highest CPU frequency set with a Celeron 352.  You need liquid helium to manage this so do not expect to see that kind of result with air cooling.  If you check out [H]ard|OCP ‘s video coverage you will see the performance of water, phase change and LN₂ with the FX8150, though you probably know about it already since you have watched Ryan’s coverage.

"If you are wondering how well the new AMD FX CPU will overclock, you are not alone. AMD let us have some behind-the-scenes access a couple of weeks ago and is now allowing us to show off the results. We shot a lot of video and show you AMD FX overclocking on water, phase change, and liquid nitrogen."
