A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130?
joshmo97 writes "Tom's Hardware has found that the Pentium D 805 runs stable at 4.1 GHz and outperforms Intel and AMD's flagship offerings in many benchmarks. From the article: 'The Pentium D 805 is a budget CPU, but it puts lots of processors from AMD and Intel to shame. Although it is not based on the latest 65 nm core, this CPU remains stable even when operating at amazing 4.1 GHz. The Pentium D 805 ascends to the throne as the new King of overclocking, knocking out the AMD Opteron 144.'"
With minimal alterations, you can also perform mad overclocks on your articles!
They watercooled this 10 page story up to an incredible FORTY FIVE pages, using only duct tape, a small iceberg and tons of adverts. Wow!
SET YOUR CLICKING FINGERS TO STUN, LADIES!
Finally, now I have a chip that will make Oblivion run smoothly! Hmm...maybe it's time to dust of ol' Doom III...
I'm not really ready to upgrade my entire rig at the moment but I'm almost tempted to buy a Pentium D 805 now before they're
A) Out of stock everywhere
B) Intel releases Revision B that makes overclocking this particular CPU impossible.
Buy em while they're hot folks...(no pun intended, or was there?)
Tom, you really should have mentioned this in the article...

It's true. I find turkey to be positively delicious.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I thought you were kidding about the 45 pages til lI checked the article. I am not going to sift through all that, I'll wait for Anandtech to cover it.
Saying Java is nice because it works on all OS's is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders.
I have my IBM PC XT overclocked to 5 GHz, unfortunately it costs 50 KiloWatts to run, but on the plus side I can use it in my kiln to cure pottery.

Amazing. 10 pages of article with ads removed = 1 page of real text
US military to Intel "your latest shipment of Mil-Spec CPU's are not up to standard"
Intel to US military "That's strange, we sent you our very best core's"
Somewhere at Intel after reading Slashdot " $@&#$%&!!!, is that where they went"
I believe you mean, "I believe you mean, '1 in 10^20' or '10^-18% chance' ;)"

Old school. Well played.
Wow! This thing consumes actual power! I need to upgrade my computer, I guess.
Be sure you upgrade with a Mr Fusion first. Bannana peels and beer cans not included.
Life is not for the lazy.
Then all you would need is a great big red TURBO button on the front of your case...
