@William. These days CPU from AMD and Intel are highly clocked, reaching 2.7GHz – 3.4GHz at stock. Mostly attributed from the fact that silicon couldn’t take that amount of speed anymore, we are reaching the limit of silicon. Thats why we have more cores in the package of a CPU die, dual core is still the defacto standard now. But pretty soon you’ll be seeing quad core as the minimum for our CPU. Our CPU development is very slow compared to a decade ago, when one company dominates (Intel) for a longer period and the other company doesn’t show any competition (AMD) at all, this is where innovation and development get lesser. Hope to see Bulldozer really perform what AMD claims.

Very useful, I often wonder how good these chips ’65nm’ AMD chips where. It might not be considered a huge increase by today’s standards, but nonetheless 3.0GHz is nothing to sniff about, eh – and with no vCore increase. I find that really cool, and regret not buying myself one of these chips when I built a friend’s rig. Some people will shudder at the mere mention of overclocking..the rest of us will push Socket AM2 chips to their limits and continue to enjoy extreme performance for nothing.
