AMD overclocks Phenom II to 5GHz!

I know that sounds insane, and it is, but AMD has managed to overclock a Phenom II X4 to 5GHz.

Now the obvious question is, what exactly is the point? Not everyone is going to reach that speed so there is no reason for them to advertise it. I’m guessing at least one person has tried this and failed (after this announcement).

Still doesn’t help AMD’s market share though.
