Overclockers Top 6GHz With A 3.6GHz-Rated P4
Just spotted this bit of news posted over at slashdot.org

The 6GHz barrier has been broken by two guys, a little LN2 (liquid nitrogen for those not as chemistry inclined), and an Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott) 3.60GHz. Check out some icing and some proof of speed. Better yet take a look at how fast it calculates pi. Also be sure to check out the original announcement.

Full Details

Shame that it isn't even bench stable. I would have liked to see a few benchmarks run.

Its some feat (and certainly shows the future speeds perhaps possible with a prescott) but it would be more impressive if it was stable, im not a great believer in these LN2 tests when you can do nothing with the system apart from boot and run CPUZ...
