P4 overclocked @ 2.8 GHz

[$o_dope]

Check this website out, its in japanese but WUCPUID stats are something to gawk @ here (http://holicho.lib.net/)

Those biatches are nutts! :D

What they don't tell you is that that chip lived just long enough to get those screenshots, and then died a premature death.

Thos crasy buggers go thru a ton of chips, for bragging rights to the "fastest ever" title.

Until I see one of these guys opening their e-mail, or surfing the web, or playing games, etc at that speed......

Can't help but wonder what would happen if they tried to install the OS at that speed......DOH!

those nutcases are mad.... crazy.....sheesh...

[*spazzed*]

How much money did they spend on thier nitrogen cooled rigs?

depending on how you look at the thermal throttling feature of the p4 they probabally could read their email at that speed :)

exert from p4 article
"Intel’s Thermal Design Guide has revealed that the absolute maximum power dissipation of the 1.5GHz P4 is actually 72.9 watts. This is 33% higher than the published system design specification, and essentially identical to the 1.33 GHz Athlon. If power dissipation is sustained at a level higher than 54.7 watts thermal overload can occur. In order to deal with this, a mechanism called thermal throttling is used. If performance critical applications drive the CPU above a predetermined temperature, the CPU is halted with a 50% duty cycle (alternating 2 microseconds on; 2 microseconds off) until it cools down. This effectively turns your 1.5GHz processor into a 750MHz processor – just at the moment you demand peak performance. On the other hand, you will probably still be able to check your email at 1.5GHz. This scheme is described on page 23 of Intel’s P4 Thermal Design Guide. "
