A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the power-on-a-budget dept.

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.'"

    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.

    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"
