Intel overclocking to 8 GHz?
 

MEGAHERTZ MADNESS is far from dead at Intel, according to sources close to a possibly cunning plan it's hatching. The strong rumour is that Intel is currently working on a machine which could well be used by NASA – just as for instance – that teams together eight CPUs, each at eight GHz and all in the same big big chassis.

How are they doing this? Well, encouraged by top silicon spins, the sources suggest that they can just about manage to clock Pentium 4s to 8GHz, and manage that by immersing the MIPS monster by bathing it in the very coldest liquid nitrogen they can pour out of their taps.

The suggestion is that such a machine could be used, for example, in a ground control system for NASA's X31 spaceship.

Current Intel roadmaps are projecting speeds of 3.40GHz on Pentium 4 90 nanometer "Prescotts" by this time next year.

Sounds unstable.

I want it for christmas.

LMAO Chruser ill buy ya one, but whats your name how do you pronounce it? crush-er or cru-ser or how? i always thought it was crusher but i just noticed it isnt.

Krewser.

The 8.0 ghz won't mean shit unless they bump their FSB to like 1599 >_<


Cruise-er.

ahhh, i get it now i will say crusher in my mind though just cause im used to it.

I always say Chrush-er but know it is cruiser, jus say that outta habit now...

Also I wonder how this compares too cell technology??

Krewzer*

Really? I always say it as "Krewzer".

hmm guess im not the onlyone who didnt know how to say his name lmao i always thought as crusher.

where's that thread where everyone said their names?

i always thought it was chrusher untell like the day after i registered lol

that 8.ghz sounds expensive and pretty hassled why would they need that much?

ya the cooling alone can kill your bank account

Well...you could have a shitload of songs on that computer... ;)

well you'd need a huge fucking hard drive too :D

LÖL :rofl:
Would be great to get one of them . ^^

With a P4 pulling those speeds plusa gig or 2 of ram, an 0c-48 and a radeon 9700 i could play d2, UT, CS, SC, RA2, listen to music, talk on aim , watch porn be lookin at 10 different web sites and still not lag :) that is....IF i could do that much at once.. :-\
