Interesting. FWIW I can easily run my Phenom 9950 at 2800MHz. I leave the
voltage at 1.3, and just up the multiplier by 2x, and it purrs at 2800. This
is more or less what the article says. It does get hot, though, so I usually
leave it 2600MHz. I've not been able to get it to run at 2900MHz, but I
haven't spent a lot of time trying.

I notice a huge L3 cache. I'd like to see some performance specs for that -
you usually can't increase the cache size without increasing the access
time - that is why L1 caches are so small, they have to be very fast.

The 45nm die makes it what it is and the 3ghz was oc'ed to 4.2ghz if i read
one review right (Tom's).
