AMD Shows Upcoming Phenom II CPU At 6.0 GHz+
Vigile writes "Today during a press briefing at AMD's offices in Austin, TX the company showed off some upcoming technology that should be available sometime early in 2009. What was most impressive was the overclocked speeds of the pending Phenom II X4 45nm processors. On air cooling AMD showed the quad-core CPU running at nearly 4.0 GHz while with much more extreme liquid nitrogen cooling help the same CPU reached over 6.0 GHz! It looks like AMD's newest processor might finally once again compete with the best from Intel, including its recent Core i7 CPUs."
as these liquids freeze well below the 109.3F that dry ice sublimates at.
Aside from their glaring misuse of "at", I think they also may have a slight error on the temperature, as I'm fairly certain that dry ice does not remain a solid at room temperature.
*checks the wiki*
Ah. -109.3 F. Much better.
... except that it's still 'F'.
