XtremeSystems.org Demos 5.5GHz+ Quad-Core Yorkfield

Intel along with XtremeSystems ran a phase-change cooling demo of a ridiculously overclocked 45nm Yorkfield (quad-core Penryn) running at around 5.5GHz.

We saw a couple of world records broken, including a new world record for Cinebench R10 (32-bit).

Intel used the overclocking demo to talk about its upcoming X38 chipset launch, coming in October. Intel wants the X38 chipset to be embraced by enthusiasts hence the XS demo.

10x power reduction by 2010, err 2008 The Integrated Graphics Revolution
