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."

    Good luck getting the G5/Opertron to run at this speed. Hell, even half that speed.
