The accelerated processing unit made “The Stilt” more than proud

“The Stilt” is the name of a Finnish group of Overclockers. Remember it because they've just set a new world record.

Naturally, I'm talking about the world record for CPU overclocking.

Using an AMD A10-6800K accelerated processing unit, they managed to push the frequency all the way up to 8.2 GHz.

They achieved the result (8203.01 MHz) by setting the bus clock at 130.21 MHz and the multiplier at 63x.

The lower core voltage was at 1.968 volts the entire time.

Furthermore, thanks to an x87 patch, the A10-6800K managed to post better SuperPi scores.

Seeing as how The Stilt previously scored a record 8000.48 MHz with a bus clock of 126.99 MHz and applying 2.008 volts to the CPU, this later feat is quite the jump. Check out the filing on HWBot.org for more.
