Wonder if this is AMD's solution on an Intel Extreme Edition CPU - create a lot of hype? Not that its all about nothing - these should be great overclockers and AMD may just make a new trend here.

It would qualify as a solution to the Extreme Edition if they made more than 100 of them. I was pretty excited about these until I found out how very few there would be and only the elite overclockers will likely have a chance to touch one. =/

I think there really should be some sort of requirement for the winner to actually be required to overclock and benchmark it using extreme cooling solutions. Chances are tons of people are going to enter this contest and the winner more than likely just use it as a everyday CPU.

ebay anyone?

High power leakage, maximum power consumption and short lifespan and extreme cooling needed, I'm sorry guys but I think I will bow out of the contest. While overclocking is a lot of fun, I would rather not build a loud and unreliable rig to support it.
Games aren't meant for benchmarks numbers and a high pitched whirrr takes away from the experience out of playing the game.

This cpu isn't aimed for the everyday user, this chip is intended to be auctioned off. As an extreme overclocker, high leakage, very limited quantity, not even for sale item, the bids should go pretty high. There are people with access to LN2 and Liquid helium, and I ain't one of them. 😀

Woo! Another US only competition! Thanks for caring about your European readers - its not like half of your reporters and testing lands come from Europe or anything after all...

Intel should just use lots of inexpensive processor cores to create a personal supercomputer (PSC).

Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) Red was the first computer to rate above 1 teraFLOPS using 200 MHz Pentium Pro processors.

Many of today's supercomputers use SUSE.
