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.'"

    Multipage reviews are becoming increasingly common. While 5 pages is two much, this review has a whopping 45 pages.
