This is absolutely fucking insane. 20 years later 4GHz is finally broken on A64 outbinning Gianni, Philipp and Knut.

Thanks, it can still be done!

Athlon 64 4000+ finally achieving 4000+ like it was supposed to !

Crazy! Great job and great find!

Tnaks. It is one sick cpu. If it was unlocked, it was one of or the best cpu of this generation.

Amazing score, very well done, Sparks.nl! :)

I all forgot about it. I was so into AMDMB back then. Still have the account tho. So new score tgere as well.

This is awesome! DFI LANParty series was an absolute legend!.. they should bring it back

Congratulations! If it helps, I have a feeling you were hitting the limit of it no matter the temps - from what I recall based on my chips, in general they started acting funny below that point and stop scaling as much. (unlike the 130nm ones) But I have to say, KABYE went under my radar as good candidates here (although I know the reputation of CABYE, I just found no good production weeks for the 3700+/4000+ BY chips). What's the rest of the date code? I had a KABYE 0540CPMW once according to a list I made in 2007.

Thanks. Well it looks like at least some BY were good enough. From what I expect: not many. It is: KABYE 0543FPMW. Yes it seems like that most chips do not scale much beyond. I have an FX BN that likes -110C. But there are not many.
