Corsair Breaks World Record for Dual-Channel Memory on AMD Phenom II
Corsair, a worldwide supplier of high-performance computer and flash memory products, today announced that the Corsair Dominator GTX4 ultra-high-performance memory module has achieved a new world record for dual-channel memory frequency on AMD processors.
Using an AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition CPU, Corsair Hydro Series H50 CPU cooler, and a pair of Corsair Dominator GTX4 memory DIMMs with Airflow memory fan, Corsair Labs was able to achieve the world-record memory frequency of 2287.6MHz. Independent validation of this achievement can be found here.
"The new Phenom II X6 CPUs offer a quantum leap in overclockability for the AMD platform," stated Jim Carlton, VP of Marketing at Corsair. "The combination of the new CPU core and Corsair's most aggressively sorted DIMMs results in some truly amazing memory performance."
Key components used in setting this record include the following:

Amd will outperform in Wprime, not superpi.
superpi have always been a intel camp since launch of core 2.
I personally like wprime better since its multithreaded, intel still wins in it, but tells more overall perf!
CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SD... (if u MUST have corsair)
I just checked there site again too there is a DDR 2000 updated QVL that "they support" lol u can check it out.

(even tho its still not on it... wont matter just lower the voltage at startup to the ram walla.)
But what the hell is the point in this?
I have a nearly 4 year old virtually stock standard Intel Q6600 system on similarly old & standard SuperTalent DDR2 400 ram - running only a TINY overclock, and I appear to beat out a brand new Phenom X6 , with apparently the worlds FASTEST ram?
Should I be E-Baying my pc to NASA for like $50 000 or something?
I just don't get it - My CPU is 1588Mhz slower, and my ram is 697Mhz slower - and I bench FASTER?
Are AMD systems really THAT bad? Or have I missed something?
Oh AND that Benchmark was just run with all my crap going, this web session open AND my WCG crunching... Not even a clean run...
AMD = faster at other stuff
Edit: Mussels beat me D:
Zip / Rar .. Video Encoding ... 3D Rendering... Encryption... My Junky 4year old Q6600 Dumping on just about any AMD processor there is .. TODAY ... (obviously excluding their very very biggest chips.. those I'm just pretty much matching)
I know a LOT of folks who love to talk big about AMD but nobody has the goods when it's time to play :) - Apart from horrendously overclocked systems, that cost 2X what mine did to begin with... And yes those ARE faster - but that's like buying a Ferrari, and then supercharging it to out race a moped, and only beating the moped by 5 seconds...
I suppose it's really a debate for another thread - I just cant see how ANY processor based on TODAY'S technology - running 1500Mhz + FASTER , with the worlds FASTEST RAM could possibly Lose in ANY benchmark to a 4 year old junker running stock on rather SLOW ram indeed...
If you want mathy ballsy grunt, go intel.
... that sounds wrong...
And furthermore, SuperPi is an application where a Intel CPU does much better. I'd like to compare your Yorkfield vs a Phenom II in Games. Is your yorkfield faster?
my brother brought a 4870 and i was using 8800gt sli in 3dmark i would beat him (by afew thousand) for no other reason than phsyx but in the real world when we were gaming the difference was obvious, the 4870 was better, smoother, faster. some people read to much into these kinds of benchmark scores.
