Well Another World record! :clap2: let it be suspense :wink:

8.79GHz FX-8350 Is The Fastest Ever CPU - Republic of Gamers

ROG starts 2013 with a new world record for the fastest ever x86-based CPU frequency at 8.79GHz. Master overclocker Andre Yang took an AMD FX-8350 CPU and ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard to the new extreme, using 2.064V and liquid nitrogen to chill.

The CPU-Zvalidation shot below is confirmation of the new record.

Anyway, AMD FTW! :D

I'm not complaining sir. It is obvious that one has to disable the cores to get such speeds. I'm just stating the fact.

Yeah,but would it perform better than say,a core i7 3770k at stock clocks?...Probably not.

I like Amd better than Intel,but you've got to admit Intel is far ahead of them...
