AMDmb has their results of the magical 2123Mhz overclock and the proof.
And now we are left with the same very basic problem that I was going to attempt to unravel at the start of this article. With the three processors Ive seen and tested based on the new Thoroughbred core, I have overclocked one by 117 MHz, one by 200 MHz and another by over 300 MHz. What is our statistical norm then? What would consumers see when purchasing their own Thoroughbred processor? In order to know with degree of credibility, we would have to do a lot more testing on hundreds, if not thousands, of processors. That is obviously not something we can just sit down and do here at Amdmb.com. It will take months, probably, for enough product (based on the Thoroughbred core) to get out into the hands of the users so we can begin to see results from that many processors. It looks like we will have to wait until then to get a good consensus on the power of the initial release of the Thoroughbred processor.
