“using liquid-helium” LOL, keep the trucks a coming, we need a steady supply of liquid He….
It is almost stupid silly that we really have not surpassed a market chip that exceeds 4.0 ghz in the last what… 6 years

I wish AMD released more tech details on this benchmark. The bulldozer will come with 6 or 8 cores, but they didn’t say which one they used to set the record. They also only held that speed for a few seconds and doesn’t look like there was any real load on the CPU.
Still, I wonder if all this is pointless. With GPU processors out performing CPUs. Is a 8Ghz bulldozer really that much faster then code run on an overclocked GPU?
