AMD
On November 20th, AMD
Taiwan hosted the Vishera
media launch at the Taiwan
Beer Factory. Four of the
eight invited AMD mainboard
partners showed up with one
or two extreme overclocking
systems to demo the
overclocking capabilities of
the Piledriver FX-8350 and
Trinity A10-5800K CPU. The
extreme overclocking line-up
included ASRock, BIOSTAR,
GIGABYTE and MSI. As this
was a media event, the day
kicked off with a couple of
slideshow presentations and
as always in these parts, a
performance with dancers.
Being the geek that I am,
it goes without saying the
overclocking bit of the event
was the most interesting part.
