Speed. It's of paramount importance in evaluating any computer system,
and the engine that gives your PC its get up and go is its CPU. The
folks at AMD wanted to show off just how awesome (and fast) their new Bulldozer-based
FX chips can be, and set a Guinness World Record for the "Highest
Frequency of a Computer Processor" while they were at it. To get the
record, a team of "elite overclocking specialists" cranked up the juice
on an 8-core desktop CPU until hitting a speed of 8.429GHz -- handily
surpassing the previous mark of 8.308GHz. So, AMD's got the fastest
silicon in the west and it's chipping away at Intel's processor predominance. What say you, Chipzilla?
