Phenom II X4 955 pushed to 7.127 ghz

This is pretty impressive from the new AMD chips.. http://www.nordichardware.com/news,9189.html

Noteworthy currrent world record but overclocking records are meant to be broken as dies shrink, more efficient substrate material is invented, and manufacturing processes improve.

Predict a "new" world record every 3 months? with Intel and AMD exchanging leads?

I dunno, I think the i7 975 will probably trump that since it got 5ghz on air.

Finally 4 cores and 4 threads overclock for the Phenom II past the 6.5GHz mark. I wonder how high they could go on Liquid Helium.

Probably not much higher or even not as high. LHe is really hard to work with.

Just going back to LN2, since the 955 is 125w, how far is a possible 995 going to overclock on LN2?

maybe we'll get past the 9ghz that pentium's sometimes got.
