OC Team Italy takes P4 to 8.18GHz
Nah, 8,180MHz can't hold a candle to 500GHz, but on the long road of overclocking Intel's Pentium 4 where there is an increasingly brief amount of time available to brag before being trumped, the zany Italians have crowned themselves champs once more. Not content with just hitting 8GHz with a "Cedar Mill" Pentium 4 631, OC Team Italy managed to push that very model an additional 179MHz by tweaking the FSB. The final results yielded a 173-percent overclock, and while this here setup may run stable for a continued period if placed at the depths of Antarctica, we can't imagine this being too feasible for the common man to replicate and actually utilize.



















Who cares? It's a P4.
What's the point? A C2D at 4Ghz will probably kick that ones ass.
That and the 500Ghz thing wasn't a processor, it was just a transistor. Get your facts straight.
oh my gosh. what did they use?? liquid helium? solid helium? how?!?!?
I would love to play F.E.A.R. with this puppy, except for the possibility of CPU detonation killing everyone in a one mile radius.
1st post! yay!
they used liquid nitrogen as a coolant. n i dont think core would hav stood the chance.. the neares t core wil burn the ... out of the other... heh

i wanna see bench marks of this versus a C2D
never mind. i am a slow typer... damn.
No offense, but holy crap... it took you 3 minutes to type that? Or did you have to go through registration (and wait for the damn email)? 'Cause in that case you're not slow at all...
(Sorry, I got off topic..) I wish they had private messaging here (tell me if there is!)
Yeah I have to agree I'd like to see benchmarks on this. Especially pitting it against the latest processors being released.
benchmarks and specs
asap
yea so how does it compare to a core 2 duo o/c?
And this news is so old, I dont know why many of the sites are revealing it now, First theinquirer posted the same and then even engadget.

today is may 31st u mean.. hehe
A typo error..
:P
Its ok... Today is 31st [b]MAY[/b] "HAPPY" :P
xcaliber has confirmed that he is a dork.
will it run doom?
ya it will.. but the CPU will be fried by the time you get into the intro Video.
n u hav a gud amount to spend on liquid nitrogen?... nice...
LOLZZZZZ!!!

blah but its an intel. *vommits*
Yeah...you can play Doom..but get two cylinders of Liquid Nitrogen Ready and be prepared for the shock you would get if the P4 thinks about exploding...
lols
oops.... the first two comments didnt appear for a minute...
then i thot it got bugged by my browser. sorry.... :-|
