End of the line for the venerable Phenom II X4?

4.3 GHz is quite interesting, my 940 will not go over 3.9 GHz no matter what. 700 MHz over the initial phenom II is pretty good progress too, we can only hope Bulldozer does the same.

With quite high voltage around 4.5GHZ is attainable too:

Hm yeah that's not bad actually, I believe 1.55 is the "orange" zone in terms of voltage for the cpu.

I managed to squeeze 4.1 GHz out of my Phenom II 965 on new years eve.

Your Scan link (price history etc) goes to an X4 840 rather than a 980.

Thought £78 sounded like a good deal!
