AcesHardware have snagged a AMD Athlon 64 FX that's clocked at 2.8 GHz and have thrown up some benchmarks for you're viewing pleasure! Here's a snip.
So there I was, quite impressed with the performance of the AMD Athlon 64 FX-51. Then I get a call from Denmark: "would you like to give a 2.8 GHz Athlon 64 FX a test run?
When working with this system, a few interesting facts popped up. The system was actually running at 14 x 200 MHz, and could be set at multipliers ranging from 4 (800 MHz) to 14 (2.8 GHz). All AMD Athlon 64 FX are de facto unlocked and it seems that the maximum multiplier for this stepping is 14.
The only thing from stopping you from overclocking with the multiplier seems to be the BIOS. The ASUS SK8N inside the nVENTIV Mach II featured a special ASUS bios that allowed us to change the CPU core voltage and multiplier
