500 GHz with no heat problem

i'd like more sources before believing a word of that lol. it is true that silicon chips operate at faster frequencies at lower temperatures but it seems odd that the world record would jump from 7ghz (not windows bootable) to around 500ghz that quickly.
seems like its BS like the inquirers "pentium V" which never happened... it supposedly operates at 10ghz lol.
and btw, its 350ghz without a heat problem according to the article. they needed -451F in order to hit 500ghz.

i heard about this several months ago. it isnt like a full CPU it is just a test of transistor constuction. basicly(when i read about it) they got this transistor to switch up to +600Ghz under extreem cooling.

Well considering this isn;t based from a known chip, it was a chip that was created for this. It was a proto type. Also the record is based on liquid nitrogen. This is cooled with liquid heliuim.


And a main thing, is this is not a P4 chip, this i not your average CPU, it was a protoyupe that is cooled with liquid HELUIM made from IBM and Georgia Institute of Technology in the US.

It's apparent that you don't read EETimes. They are quite a reputable magazine (I have a subscription), and they would not put out information like that without solid research and verification.

For the record, Duck reached 7.6GHz, and was able to boot into Windows.

Secondly, you are comparing two totally different architectures using different methods of fabrication than what is used on traditional x86 processors.

That wasn't Inquirer BS, even Intel thought that they were going to be able to continue with the Prescott up to 5.20GHz, then Tejas up to 9.20GHz, then the Nehalem at 10.20GHz. Unfortunately, the Tejas engineering samples were dissapating a ridiculous amount of heat at 2.8GHz (somewhere around 130-150W), so they needed to scrap that plan and figure out something different to replace the successor to the Netburst architecture.
 
so let me get this straight... conroe is coming out, but it wont matter because IBM has a processor at 500ghz? tell me, what type of processor is it, if not x86 compatible?

This isn't a market CPU for people to buy, try READING the linked articles.
