Prior to the release of AMD’s latest 45nm Phenom processors, the Sunnyvale, California-based chip maker made some demonstrations of its latest generation Phenom CPUs. The company wanted to demo the overclocking capabilities of its new Phenom processors and the performance they can achieve by implementing support for DDR3 memory modules. In one of the demonstrations, where a Phenom II X4 940 processor model was used to break the 6.5GHz core speed, the CPU was benchmarked using Futermark’s 3DMark 05, where it scored 45474 points.
Back then, the Phenom II X4 was claimed to have set a new 3DMark record, a claim that was somewhat debatable, as a higher score was achieved (apparently prior to the overclocking event at CES) using an overclocked version of a Core i7 processor. However, the insatiable thirst for higher levels of clock frequencies seems to be driving AMD’s fans towards setting new standards, using the company’s latest 45nm Phenom processors.
