Legit Reviews spotted a video and screenshots that show AMD's Bulldozer FX-8130P processor running at 5.1GHz on plain old air cooling.
Rumor has it that the AMD Bulldozer FX-8130P is a true 8-core processor running at 3.8GHz with 8MB L3 Cache and a 125W TDP that costs $320. The video above shows that this person overclocked the CPU to 5.1GHz with what looks like 1.59375 volts on the CPU using the ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard and Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler. Cinebench and Super PI benchmarks were shown, but the results were blocked out.
