Pretty cool I suppose. Not really into overclocking myself though!

"Anyway, the AMD FX-8350 achieved an 8,127 MHz speed with a 1,920 vCore, which is an absolutely incredible voltage for a 32 nm CPU. Running at 7,500 MHz for a single-core performance benchmark, the CPU was pulling 100 W of power - for a single core to operate at that speed, mind you. Even so, the AMD FX-8350 only achieved a single-core score of 172 points - for comparison sake, AMD's six-core Ryzen 5 2600X, running at stock clocks of 3.6 GHz with all cores enabled, achieves 176 points in the same benchmark. Watch the video below for the full rundown on this experiment."

1.92 volts?! Jesus! I think it's pretty cool. I had a great 8350 that ran at 4.8 all cores 24/7 for like 3 years without a single crash and now it's in my kid's rig at stock speeds and still purring along. Best overclocking chip I ever had.

My 8320 did 4.8 all core. Couldn't ever get it boot @ 5.0. Had a Sabertooth 990FX Mobo with an EK monoblock, IHS lapped to a mirror with CLU.
 
He sure increased the clock speed of that CPU alright. I'm told there was also a method of cooling employed. Yep, there can be no doubt that this is an event which transpired in objective reality.

my 8150 ran for a couple years at 4.6 but died when i tried 4.8, the mobo vrm crapped out taking it with :( my 8350 did 4.6 but i wasnt risking the 4.8 again.
 
That's wild. I didn't expect it anywhere near i7-4770K but it actually beat it. Had to move a mountain to do it, but very neat nonetheless.
 
Makes you want to see how fast things can go and for how long while totally on fire.

Now... we have swapped out the LNO2 for some liquid oxygen...
 
This really hammers in the fact how shitty the bulldozers really were. It required 8 ghz extreme overclock to barely match a last generation CPU running at 4.1-4.2 ghz on boost clocks. AMD has come a long way.

And it had to be overclocked 108% over the clock speed of the 4770K to do it. Note that the 4770K came out only 8 months after the 8350 did. This is why I always facepalmed when I read about people bitching that games ran so shitty on their 8350 and didn't believe that changing to an Intel CPU could solve their issues at the time. It's no joke how AMD have turned things around today.

Why is this news if the top ranking OC is 8.722 GHz and this 8.1 GHz OC isn't even in the op 20 there?

Maybe TPU is a little behind, if you look at the rankings as of today der8aur has it up to 8338MHz now, ranked 18th.
