Athlon FX faster than a 5+Ghz P4.

Tom's Hardware recently did this overclocking experiment with a Pentium4, reaching 5.25Ghz with liquid nitrogen.

At first, it seemed very weird to me that there were no benchmarks at all in the article. With such an effort, you would assume at least some benchmarks were in order, wouldn't you? Well, it seems there were some benchmarks, but were silently removed because the FX-51 was still beating the Pentium4, even when clocked at 5.25Ghz! And when some in Tom's forums started complaining about that, those posts were also removed!

Take a look at this thread.

If you think we all here are "wearing tin-foil hats" when talking about how Tom's Hardware and other websites are Intel-biased, well, it appears we're not the only ones out there.
