    Hi.

    Apparently Phenom 2 will overclock quite nicely.

    "arlier the company had released slides to its channel contacts, telling that Phenom II would overclock very well, and 24x7 overclocks beyond 3.60 GHz on air didn't sound unreal. At the same event, AMD showcased Deneb chips doing 4.00 GHz with air-cooling (with vCore set at 1.6V)."

    4GHz on air, that doesn't sound too bad. Actually, thic can be a good selling point for AMD, not to mention a far better performance/cost ratio than uber-expensive and incredibly not worth it i7.

    What do you people think? Personally I can't wait to put my hands on Daneb :)
