Mine actually does better and can clock higher than that. Depends on the board, ram, ram settings etc...
This is just some old tests i have done. It could be that i have done even better but they are not saved.
They decided to go cheap and they had these bad results and consequences.
Don't know if they learned from their mistakes. I can't answer that for you.
You should ask them.
I don't have to accept anything. I only accept reality and i don't have delusions.
And what are you trying to achieve here? You trying to compare a processor that has been released nearly 10 years ago? That is pathetic.
I think some of them have some issues there.
If that is the case, i can also drop in a some watercooling kits and i can smoke you anytime with my 1090T. :p It does 4.2ghz on air easy without going to high on voltage. Its somewhere about 1.43 volts. Don't remember exactly cause i haven't played with it lately. I can't keep it that high on...
Yes you could clock it higher i suppose but you can also welcome the nice power draw that bulldozer has at those speeds. :) What is left to be seen, is the power consumption of the new parts. I hope they have improved on that at least.
