Hopefully it means their manufacturing process is improving, and higher clocks can be achieved through overclocking.

Saw someone hit 4.4ghz on air, but that's not really a huge overclock in the grand scheme of things, as you know. I hit just about 4.1ghz on air, which is a 1.3ghz overclock, compared to a 1ghz overclock...

But it's exciting to see it going to 4.4ghz nonetheless. Hoping for some higher clocks.

Good to see AMD is trying to step it up. Hopefully this will mean (AMD improving) even greater amount of competition and lower prices overall .
