Overclockers Love AMD

June 24, 2000 4:07 AM

Some excellent news for all the overclockers out there, it looks like the new line of AMD CPUs overclock like a champ. According to TomsHardware who gets pretty techy on us about the pins of the CPU (he read the whitesheet) but more importantly shows off some benchmarks of the CPUs getting cranked. Asus already has a motherboard capable of overclocking to boot.

I've got four Duron processors, one 650 MHz type and three Duron 700 types. After raising the voltage to some hefty 1.85 V all four Durons reached 950 MHz without a glitch!!!
