Oh no, this is not an overclock, but an engineering sample not to be released to the public for another 4 years or so.. I will benchmark it soon, and post the results. I can already say its VERY fast, it runs Quake3 at over 1000 FPS !!!

If we're still running Q3 by then I'll be very dissapointed.

Shouldn't we be way beyond 8 GHz in 4 years?

No kidding! He he he. Besides, four years from now, shouldn't we have a graphics card that'd give you 1000FPS in Q3 even with a VIA C3?

Probably. Hell, shouldn't we be using SOI on an 0.05micron process in 4 years?

Actually Bitboyz was heard developping a future chip!

And yes I am so gullible, I can't spot sarcasm or a joke like a bird can't spot a window glass 2 meters away, before going through it!

A bird hopefully doesn't go <b>through</b> the window.

Yeah, after looking at that pric, I could tell immediately it was another one of those pics that makes fun of Tom's article.

...And all the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put my computer back together again...

Sorry for my nasty attitude sometimes, but ROFL, you seemed like you had something against somebody, for calling him a pric*! :lol:
