Being wrong would be fantastic but I'm going to say - no way, not unless they're disabling a bunch of cores and probably not even then. Again, the guys who witnessed this never made an overclocking claim, this is some redditor claiming it was overclocked. It was a cinebench test, and it was at stock clocks.

Has AMD put out a good overclocker since the Duron 600 MHz? AXIA Athlon was alright but I bought an AYHJA in high school and it was a completely bust.

Paul MaudDib posted:Athlon XP-M was amazing. There was also an Opteron famous for overclocking, the 144, I believe. Not to mention more recently (well, still pre-Bulldozer) you had triple cores that could often be unlocked into fully functional quad cores, although I realise that's a different kettle of fish.

If the IPC wasn't poo poo overclocking BD derivatives would be more fun. Its quite possible to get around 1Ghz or more overclocks on some of them on air. They just still perform poorly and use tons more power so it doesn't make much sense.

They just still perform poorly and use tons more power so it doesn't make much sense. Overclocked Bulldozer pulls as much as an overclocked Intel HEDT processor at like half the total performance The 9590 is extra hilarious because you need to buy a fancy motherboard with a specific chipset to be able to push that much power to it, which are extra expensive. Or you could just buy an Intel.

RyuHimora posted:My FX-8320 overclocks to 5.1Ghz with a $20 Coolermaster 212, and renders videos in about 90% the time of an i7-6700, so I'm 100% okay with paying less than half the price of the i7. I think the trend of software becoming more multi threaded as time goes on will continue which ironically will help improve Bulldozer performance more over time long after AMD will have stopped making it. Making a core which focused heavily again on IPC as with Zen was definitely the right move though.

If I *really* wanted to, I could chuck a processor up into a vise in one of the vertical mills (preferably a dead one, I don't like doing this kind of poo poo to perfectly-good hardware) and then just take off .0001 of an inch at a time with a shell mill until I get down to solder, assuming the solder isn't like, "squeezed out like thermal paste" thicknesses. I mean it's solder, it's metallic, it can afford to be the.... what was it, (I'm sure the actual gap between the die and the heatspreader is actually greater... I'd probably peel off layers until it got down to aluminum foil thickness, and then just peel off the rest by hand to expose the solder.)

Or maybe you could carefully try to cut the adhesive and then run a heat gun over the cover to desolder the thing. Does intel/AMD sputter a sufficiently thick metal layer on the back of the die after they mill it down?

My Pentium G3258 right next to me was very definitely not soldered when I delidded it, in fact that's the reason I had to delid it, the thermal performance was alarmingly bad even on a really good cooler. Yea, it would make zero sense if a dual core Pentium was soldered given the explanation for why current skylake quads and so on aren't soldered IHSes.
