6ghz

Knowing intel and their recent performance gains it just needs a small nuclear reactor as a PSU and liquid oxygen cooling for light desktop use.

the devil is in the words "up to 6ghz" it only gonna hit it with the requeriment that you said

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

I guess the upside is that you don't have to mess with overclocking haha. Just slap a liquid cooler in and you don't have to change the clock because it still won't hit 6ghz for more than 15 seconds.

I expect a huge boost to speed and then throttling back once temps get high enough.

…You mean like every other CPU on the market?

[–] Anonymousllama 5 points 1 year ago

When I say I can give people up to 10 inches they seem pretty disappointed when I don't deliver, assuming it'll be the same here with the silicone lottery with some CPUs going to struggle to maintain 6GHZ

LOL!

I9's - 1000w powerdraw for guaranteed boosting capabilities.

Problem is, no thermal solution for this fire hazard is yet to be invented.

As a very early purchaser of an i7-920 this comment hurts me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Sorry man.

I swear my comment was not personal!

LOL

My i7 "laptop" would burn my lap, it was not a laptop.

Or they are going back to old tried and true methods and reducing the IPCs for higher clocks like they did in the move from Pentium 3 to Pentium 4.

Hmmm I have a 1kw power supply and a d15, so maybe it’s time to upgrade from my still-amazing 9900k.

Might also want to upgrade your dice to d20 while you're at it.
