AMD shows Phenom II running over 6.0 GHz!

... that air cooling is. Well today AMD had some actual demonstrations at their gathering, and the Phenom II was able to hit 5 GHz at 1.6v by using dry ice cooling. Dry ice is CO2, and it goes directly from solid to gas (sublimation) at a temperature of -109.3 F (-78.5C for the rest of the world) at 1 atmosphere. So with some pretty extreme cooling (non-LN) the Phenom II does show that it has some legs in the clock speed department."

AMD’s Phenom II show overclocking potential
Hardware 2.0 —
... At a demo yesterday journalists were shown a 45nm Phenom II processor running at 4GHz air-cooled, 5GHz using dry ice as a coolant, and well over 5GHz using liquid nitrogen (LN2) coolant. So, what’s the point of this demo? After all, not many people have access to (or want the hassle of) dry ice/LN2 cooling. To get the answer to that you have to look at the current Phenom lineup. Take the fastest x4 Phenom now available, the 140W 2.6GHz 9950. Relying on air cooling, you’ll be lucky to get a stable overclock at 3.1GHz. Using LN2 and insane voltages it is possible to get it up ...

With the top models in the lineup to be released at 3.0GHz, AMD says in the right hands these chips have the potential to go a lot higher. With rumors of the CPUs being able to hit 4GHz on air cooling, speculation has been that AMD will be able to counter Intel and its Core i7 if Intel decides to release faster processors next year. To prove their point, AMD execs demoed a Phenom II hitting 5GHz on dry ice during today's presentation. ...
