A team of AMD engineers claim they have broken the overclocking world record for quad core x86 processor frequency.
At an event hosted by CompUSA in Miami, the engineers used liquid nitrogen and liquid helium cooling to reach 6.93 GHz on an AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition quad core processor.
The 6.93 GHz speed, claims AMD, beats the previous record of 6.89 GHz for Phenom II quad-core processors. It is also more than twice the 3.2 GHz normal clock speed for the processor. AMD engineers cooled the processors to under three degrees kelvin or below 425 degrees Fahrenheit (-270 degrees Celsius) to get the results.
