Japanese enthusiasts have been treated to a demo of an Intel
Pentium Extreme Edition 965 chip running at over 5GHz, a frequency
35.8 per cent higher than the part was designed to be clocked to.
The chip usually runs at just 3.73GHz.
A peek inside the casing reveals Danish cooling specialist Asetek's
VapoChill Extreme Edition II refrigeration system, using to pull
the CPU temperature down to a mere 5°C. The 65nm, dual-core,
HyperThreading-enabled 965 is fitted onto a standard Intel D975XBX
motherboard.
According to a report on Japanese-language site Akiba PC Watch,
which covered the demo, the CPU's voltage needs to be dropped from
1.5V to 1.42V before it can be overclocked to the 5.066GHz. ®
