AMD Chips Top 8.4 GHz, a New Speed Record

They mention no problem with a "cold bug", I think I know what they mean. Many moons ago I bought a PowerLogix 225 MHz PPC604e upgrade for my PMac7600 and while it would o/c to 270, it wouldn't underclock past 200 MHz. Set it to 180 and no boot. Weird symptom but I'll bet it was a cold bug of some sort.

"Extreme overclocking uses liquid helium and nitrogen to cool the chips".
Not your everyday aftermarket solution.

(yawn) Sort of a pissing match at whose PC can generate the most greenhouse gas.
I will get interested when they start shipping chips guaranteed to work at 5 GHz and use less than 60 W. I like AMD and think their progress with the integrated CPU/GPU is the only thing making Intel nervous.
