While talking with a IT specialist from IBM i found out that appartently that 7Ghz cannot be broken with todays CPU's. Its got something to with the fact that 7Ghz is the speed of light and unless we use fibre optic cables we cant pass 7ghz.

someone correct me if this is wrong.
 
Apparently When the next Windows will come out, which codename is Longhorn the specs will be as follow:

4-6GHZ CPU
1TB HDD or higher
6-12GB RAM

That's what Bill Gates expects

Doubt it. Especially since 4GHz CPUs aren't in Intel or AMDs roadmap, it's all about dual cores for the next year

Not to get picky but we can barely pass 4GHz and thats only with watercooling (I know you can hit upwards of 6 with liquid N2 but that doesn't count)

Quick lesson in pre-physics:
1. Frequency. Defined as the rate at which something oscillates. I'm not sure if there is an implied requirement for a periodic property but im not gonna get into those details as they are outside of scope.
2. Speed. Defined as Δdistance/Δtime. There is an implied/defined understanding that this is a scalar quantity.

1. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz) or equivalently, cps (short for cycles-per-second)
2. Speed is measured in metres-per-second (m/s)

I think the conclusion is self-evident :)

I know we'd all like that kinda money but let's cut the immaturity ;)

Uh, what are you talking about? Since Intel is focusing on dual cores, why not have a motherboard that can support dual processors so the user can have a nice double 4Ghz? 4Ghz has already been reached through watercooling. Water cooling? What about a menthol/water solution liquid cooling system that is made with known techology; a tight network of micro pipes. That makes it cooler than just using water, since the metal micro pipes can reach closer to components than ever before. Anyone ever hear about this technology? Man, the government uses the nicest stuff before we know about it and put it on the market. This type of liquid cooling that uses well-known technology was developed for the government for use in extreme heat conditions. It should be out in a few years for the mainstream market. That way, people can overclock even more than now. Liquid nitrogen? Man, that's huge overclocking!

Now only if Tom and his buddies had used two processors.

Not a good idea to continue hijacking a thread - especially after an Admin suggested thats not the most brilliant of things to do

I think thit's why he got creamed by flying cream pie

Again with the thread topic relevance

1. They are working on such chipsets
2. Why liquid when vapor phase exchange is available?
 
1. Yes, new chipsets are being developed constantly.
2. Liquid form is the most recognizable to older people (old school). Not to mention that's how the guys at Tom's Hardware did the overclock.
 
actually 7 Ghz isnt that fast.

If we increase the speed of our current computers by 1000 times, then the maximum size of N, for which a polynomial time algorithm of order 2^n is solvable in one second will only increase by 9.97. Not a lot, is it? (reference: www.claymath.org)

Also, the OP makes no sense at all.

I'm going to assume you meant methanol. Also, even with that micropipe system you can't reach temps lower than room temp

What about antifreeze? :P Huh? Huh? Huh? :P

Now there's a good reason to take Algorithms .... O² is very ... um... bad.
 
Well, 7GHz is not the speed of light, because theres nothing in the world with mass that can run at the speed of light. Approaching the speed of light, time slows down, at the speed of light, time stops. At speeds faster than the speed of light, time goes in reverse. Your computer would basically be a time machine if you had a processor that could go faster than the speed of light.
