Intel Demos 4.7-GHz Pentium
richmlpdx writes "Silicon Strategies has an article about Intel's latest demo...
"Providing a sneak preview of its future developments, Intel Corp. here today demonstrated its fastest microprocessors to date--a 4.7-GHz chip for high-end desktop PCs.""
It can talk all four legs off an Arcturan megadonkey, but only I can convince it to go for a walk afterwards.
They also demonstrated that you could probably beowulf several dozen lower-cost systems for the same price and get even better performance...
Is 4.7ghz 4x faster than 2.4Ghz, because 400mhz was approx 4x faster (if not more) than 100mhz?....
Tony.
In other news, a small heat wave hit San Jose a few days ago. Amazingly, the source of this heat seemed to be centered at Intel's R&D headquarters.
Wow... And I still remember when the PC was 4.7 MEGAhertz... :*)

Wow! Now my Palladium/LaGrande machine will be able to notify the FBI 8 times faster!
A group of extreme hackers based in a northern section of Finland have shown this processor able to run at 5907Mhz using a never before tried method of liquid helium cooling. "We're a bit dissapointed really, I mean, this is a new record and all, but we still don't think our DVD's are going to rip fast enough till we get up to 6Ghz"
> but what type of application requires that much horse power?
Locomotives. You use the heat to drive the steam engine.
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
This means that the palladium and DRM stuff
can be VERY poorly written and still probably
maybe run somewhat fast hopefully.
The most important thing any republican needs to know.
Nice try, but this is nothing but a rigged demo. It's theoretically and physically impossible to get a CPU running above 4Ghz.
This whole time we have been blaming our electricity problems here in California on deregulation, Davis' failure to secure contracts, etc.
It's been those punks at Intel with this chip all along!!
Really. Steve Jobs said so. He says my 700 MHz Mac is a supercomputer. Really. He wouldn't lie.
I'd hit it.
If they don't make it by thanksgiving, don't worry! Just use your Athlon.

As opposed to their 4.7-GHz chip for low-end desktop PCs?

Vaporware? That's old hat.
If the cooling system on that puppy breaks down, we're talking _smokeware_ here!
Why don't make it water cooled, then you just put a paper filter and some coffer, and tada... your computer makes coffe. If want hotter coffe, just overclock it a litte. :-)

Anandtech recently went "backstage" at Intel and got pictures of a 10 GHz ALU running at Intel with air cooling. Pics here

Impressive. If back then someone would have told me that one day we would be using a 4700 MHz CPU I would probably burst out in laughter
Way back when, I would have believed that, since I knew Moores law.
I would have burst out in laughter if you told me it would still take 10 minutes to boot my PC.
