AMD has achieved the Guinness World Record for the “Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor,” by overclocking the upcoming 8-core AMD FX desktop processor.<\/p>\n

The AMD FX CPU, set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2011, achieved a top speed of 8.429 GHz<\/a>, surpassing the previous record of 8.308 GHz. The record was set on Aug. 31, 2011, in Austin, Texas, by “Team AMD FX,” a group comprised of elite overclocking specialists working alongside top AMD technologists, who will also be named in the Guinness World Records.<\/p>\n

“The record-breaking processor speed that resides in the AMD FX CPU clearly demonstrates performance gains for the new AMD ‘Bulldozer’ multi-core architecture, which will provide x86 computing power for this CPU and future AMD Accelerated Processing Units,” said Chris Cloran, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Group at AMD.<\/p>\n

“Along with world-record frequencies, the AMD FX processor will enable an unrivalled enthusiast PC experience for the money – extreme multi-display gaming, mega-tasking and HD content creation,” said Cloran.<\/p>\n

“We applaud AMD for their entry into Guinness World Records for achieving the Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor,” said Freddie Hoff, adjudicator for Guinness World Records. “We congratulate everyone involved in this record-breaking achievement.”<\/p>\n
