Ive had my computer for 3.5 years now and dont plan on getting a new one til the ghz speed is double what I have. Its 2.53. And I thought chips where supposed to double in speed every 2 years or something like that

[Shin]

I don't know about you, but there are 16 GHz computers all over the place here!

Just kidding. There's only one. And it costs a million.

meh for desktop pc's, umm probably never, chips are getting more and more efficient, a 1.86ghz intel conroe will SMOKE your chip

That was pretty cool to watch.

That video was pretty cool!

IBM have actually set the new world record they hold a 500GHZ proc LOL.

... Wow? That must need mega coolin

[Noitidart]

5!!! im not even 1!!! lol im on a 700mhz LOL

heh... and look at me complaining about 1.6ghz

[shabba]

yaeh its submerged in nitrogen or something like that, uber cooling.

As dual core chips come out you dont really have to wait for 5ghz chips. Cool video by the way! ^^

yea but dual core's bearly help anything (snappiness wise), and its not like it doubles clock anyways, so

also, yea the video is a Intel 3.4 northwood heavily overclocked on LN2 (liquid nitrogen)

[shabba]

Its still pretty cool, it could probably be done without the LN now anyway, I no this dude who hosts a fair few servers, and he has like 5 proc's in one computer all stacked. Ill find the specs for it.

I found the pictures

SMACKS IT!

[Fatal]

yea because it uses a 4 slot server board.. which I didnt know existed in 4 but w/e, um yea pretty much no buyable CPU's have hit 5ghz on air

[shabba]

heh - that used to be on air but he broke it lol

Its still pretty cool I think LOL.

[Hawk]

What are you talking about? Intel's Conroe/Core 2 Duo clearly helps everything (snappiness wise) because of the way it works.

So what if it doesnt double clock, you can run more than one graphics/CPU intensive program at a time.

[shabba]

The duo is abit different I think.

[Fatal]

meh yes hawk, but im talking related to the thread, im saying 5ghz isnt going to happen for a long time because chips are getting better, conroe for example, sure it helps a tiny bit, but new chips these days can run windows xp so easily nowadays, there is a small noticable difference if you're not gaming/encoding


Pentium M = Dothan, single core
Core duo = Yonah, dual core, dual core version of pentium m, non-conroe
Core 2 duo = Conroe AND merom (mobile conroe)
Core 2 extreme = conroe extreme edition (X6800)

5!!! im not even 1!!! lol im on a 700mhz LOL

ROFL, 3.6GHZ for me. I like that video also, pretty interesting.
