Intel Releases "Fastest Chip Ever"
mao che minh writes "From News Factor Network: Intel has released the world's fastest chip ever. The new P4 runs at 3.06GHz, at 3 billion cycles per second. Man, and I'm still squeezing the last bit of life out of my Pentium 233!" Tom's Hardware already has a review up about it, and it looks to live up to most of the hype.
Then you will have THE CHIP FASTER THAN THE FASTEST chip
Is it fast enough to get fp?
Nero-burning ROM for Linux!
How high can it be overclocked before melting and turning your machine into a firey inferno?
I'll form my OWN solar system! With blackjack! And hookers!
I remember when the Pentium 200 was the fastest chip ever!
Will my Internet work faster if I get it?
And if they had a 40-stage pipeline they could go to 6GHz! Then I'd be really impressed.

...a midi-towering inferno?

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
It runs so hot that it has to be cooled by the blood of a virgin every hour.

So with a 3gig cpu running with 1gig memory and a 100gig of harddrive space. Is this something we can expect?

Hey! New Intel marketing hype!
No Pain, No Gain!
Feel the burn!
Be the burn!

X86 is a joke and anyone who is buying a processor these days should just wait and watch, that's what I've been doing since 1998.

How's that working out for you?
I write in my journal
...when they come out with a 4.77 GHz version.
Intel should run an ad where a family sits around the (Apple) computer in coats and earmuffs, shaking from the cold.. everything blue, with icicles (sp).
.. Keeps You Warm! (tm)
Then switch to a shot of a family in a cozy room, all basking around the glow of a warm intel machine..

Hey, those marketers can sell anything, right?
You obviously have not played the leaked doom demo.
WWJD? JWRTFA!

Looks like you're hyperthreading already! ;)
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
Wow! I just installed this new 3Ghz machine, and now Nethack runs at over 200FPS, even with full alpha light rendering and environmental audio turned on full!!!

when i leave my pizza out overnight by the computer, will it stay warm?
I just installed win98 on a computer for a friend (i am a mac user now)
I would be too after an experience like that.
This official describes the marketing for this chip as similar to the automaker's model for an SUV. The chip is overly complicated for the job, bulky, has few application, yet consumes large amounts of energy and space. In short, Intel will market this as a status symbol among geeks. Sublimate your fear of your inadequacies into the fact that you can afford the TCO for this chip. Sublimate your lack of dates into the knowledge that no one will be as fast as you are. To compensate for the fact that the chip hides in computer, a hologram poster will be supplied, complete with a sufficiently clad female, that the child may hang on the bedroom door or locker without parental or school complaint.

No, that's a different kind of chip, mostly the kind made with olestra.
This is a chip from intel, so it leaves skid marks in your wallet.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
The HOTTEST Chip around.

Yes! With my new ATI 9700 Pro, 1gb of PC2700 DDR Ram, and now this, I can run games like Starcraft at 10,000 FPS, and Quake 3 at 500FPS! Other fun things you can do with a processor this fast: Brag about it Render the Final Fantasy Movie Beat everybody in Seti@home work units Run all the games you own all at once Heat your home, and probably contact the dead =)
It runs in the teraherts range...
Highest clock rate chip, yes. Fastest? Clock speed is not the right metric.
