Maybe with liquid helium, he'll achieve ludicrous speed.
So, about that Guinness World Record-beating clock speed of 8.46 GHz we talked about last week – that's been beaten again.
The very same Andre Yang that achieved that remarkable speed has upped his efforts – and his AMD FX-8150's limits – to an astounding 8.58 GHz.
Yang kept the same Asus Crosshair V Formula motherboard, but this time he cranked the voltage up from 1.992V to 2.076V. This was also done with liquid nitrogen, so it's possible that there's still room for more with the even-more-effective liquid helium.
"Intel predicts 10GHz chips by 2011"
fail.
I mean realistically, this has no value. Why have a toilet plated in gold if you cant crap in it? No matter how high you OC, its on two of the 8 cores and it still would get smoked by a i7 2600k ocd to a usable 5ghz on ALL cores.
Complete Gimmick
wish granted! =D
Can it play Dave?
Damn, beat me to it
"Intel predicts 10GHz chips by 2011"
fail.
dunno, the way its looking the second gen 22nm's from intel may break 9GHz
Bulldozer still sucks.
...of course...and?
Actually, it won't, not even close. They both can OC to 4.8ghz, where they trade blows on many benchmarks, while everyone harps about a few benchmarks they regressed on vs Phenom II. Depending on what you use your computer for, Bulldozer may actually be a better CPU.
"dunno, the way its looking the second gen 22nm's from intel may break 9GHz"
Why would you assume that, it may have a cold bug other problem with extreme OCing? Even if it actually did, the people that are saying "who cares" now would magically find a way to care. Go look at the comments section from the last Tom's article where Intel broke an OC record, nothing but high-fives all the way around, even though it really is useless.
Think that says it all. It really should be a race of how many instructions per second, then how many ghz you can go. It's like reving your engine, it might be cute, but if you only have one gear, you're not going very fast.
