"Ok, let's go over this one more time, boys. Pentium 4 670 Prescott."
"Check."
"Asus P5WD2 motherboard."
"Check."
"Industrial cryogenic cooling device."
"Check."
"Take our meds?"
"Aw hell no."
And thus the Japanese 7GHz legend was born.

sweet. where do i get one?
that shizz looks like it could back in time!
insert the word "go" into comment above.
Ok, great. Where are the benchmarks?
after following the link to the babelfish translation of the blog, i noticed a google advert for drug and alcohol treatment.
did google's read of the excellent prose on the site determine that one must be on drugs or otherwise intoxicated to understand gems such as:
"While soaking in the after effect, the; it applied temporarily, (laughing)"
and
"Riding in spirit, it tried sending also medium range."
ah - the fun of babelfish.
I just don't see the point.
How much do u think this “Industrial cryogenic cooling device.” goes for? IM guessing quite a bit since this is the first time Ive seen anything like this.
Wow, 7GHZ, thats crazy :-D I want it!
Think of how fast my solitaire game would run on that sucker...
the only "benchmark" was that this dude ran SUPER PI and got a time of something around 18.516S! check out the original blog for this info.
now that's what I call a cooler ! hell yea !
Yes, but does it WORK? and if so, for how long? Is it a safety hazzard?
If the answers to my questions are yes, plenty long, and no, then why isn't Intel manufacturing these chips right now? They would kick AMD's ass.
I don't see what's so groundbreaking, all they did was rip off "Real Genius".
That's nothing I can get my 386 to run at 4GillionHz using icecubes and Photoshop.
Top that!
#11: They do sell these processors. Just not with them set to run at these clock speeds. They don't sell them at 7GHz speeds because a) the CPUs were probably not designed for that speed and are probably not 100% stable at that speed and b) the cooling solution probably costs thousands of dollars by itself.
Can you fit a beer can holder on the side of that?
If you need that much processing power just buy a 4 socket dual CPU AMD Opteron system. Those 8 cores blow away anything in its pass.

Who are you, where did you come from, and what are you doing on this website?
NOTE: I'm pretty sure these guys did it for the fact of doing it, not so much for the processing power. Don't rail on them because YOU don't understand the context.
Ahem Fugger from XtremeSystems hit 7.2Ghz some time ago with a 570, February actually, but he didn't run SuperPi.

Nice!!! Hard to believe he got that oc PI stable.
I could totally use a system running at 7Ghz (Super Pi 2M runs around 100 seconds on a P4 660, 15 seconds on SPi 2M is totally awesome).
Not every program is multithreaded. Some programs run no faster on an 8 Opteron system than on a FX-57. For example, FEA programs are not multithreaded.
Phase change rocks, but cryogenic rocks harder.
cryogenics is the bomb, yo. why use liquid nitrogen for stupid stuff like freezing sperm? use it for overclocking, yeah !!111!!11!
7GHz? Thats it? My FX-57 is still faster then that POS P4.
OK. That's super, but how do i install it. some pictures wuld be helpfull. ;P (this is a nice work plese don't be ofended by this coment)
I'm sry, that's a little too fast for me. I think I'll stick with my PII.

It doesn't matter how many cores you have unless the application you are using can support multiple cpu's. You might as well have a million cores.
