A Korean overclocker managed to get its hands on AMD's new Bristol Ridge A12-9800 APU and overclock it to a rather impressive 4.8GHz on AMD Wraith stock air cooler.

While this is not the first time we see AMD's Bristol Ridge APU in action, this is the first time that someone actually did some serious overclocking and it appears that the upcoming Bristol Ridge APUs will have a significantly higher overclocking potential compared to earlier available Kaveri APUs.

According to the submission over at HWBOT.org, the A12-9800 was overclocked on ASUS' yet to be announced Octopus B350 motherboard and the APU was pushed to 1.325V. Bear in mind that the B350 is a mainstream chipset so we are quite sure that even more could be squeezed from this APU with a different motherboard and some serious cooling but nevertheless, it does good with stock air cooling as well.

In case you missed it earlier, the A12-9800 works at 3.8GHz base and 4.2GHz Turbo clock by default.

We will probably see even more of these as we draw closer to the next year but for now, NameGT score is all we got.
