Overclockers Top 6GHz With A 3.6GHz-Rated P4

Posted by timothy on from the ambitious dept.

sH4RD writes "The 6GHz barrier has been broken by two guys, a little LN2 (liquid nitrogen for those not as chemistry inclined), and an Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott) 3.60GHz. Check out some icing and some proof of speed. Better yet take a look at how fast it calculates pi. Also be sure to check out the original announcement."

    Yeah, so it's fast. How much can it handle?

    Processor speed envy is like penis envy. The bigger it looks, the better it seems, but just as size can be less important than how you use it, speed can be less important if bandwidth is wimpy.

  2. I wonder how fast you can get a BSoD on this baby! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Just think of the potential.
