So 1 core at silly speeds but not usable in the real world as it needs liquid nitrogen. Hmm I'm sure I remember when over clocking was a thing. You know when it mattered.
I know we're all desperate for more single thread performance but this is a bit strong. :P
Kudos to Chu-Kui though that's impressive.
Oooops AMD FX achieved 8,000 Mhz 4 years ago

That is already mentioned in the article… :p
The Intel Celeron holding the 5th position on that linked table with 8543Mhz and another Celeron at #19 running at a modest 8322Mhz. I guess the i7's aren't all they are clocked up to be afterall, lol
Do people really care about this anymore? I know I don't but that's just me. It is all rather pointless after all.

Yeah, I thought these days if you weren't on liquid Helium you weren't trying ;) :D
I would like to see it delidded with a standard water cooler.
I know they're keeping it crazy cool and everything, but surely 4V would kill almost any CPU straight away?
Would be nice to see a record set with just normal cooling. Like air/closed loop hydro cooler/custom loop etc.
You know, stuff the average Joe could go out and buy and set up if they wanted to.

Voltage kills because of resistance, which turns input power into heat and melts something or causes too much leakage to carry a signal. If you very much cool the CPU you lower the resistance, allowing more voltage to be used, whilst also drawing away any heat produced by resistance. You also reduce leakage from the transistor gates.
Anyone remember the max speed attained by a liuid Nitrogen cooled Pentium 4 chip ?

The 8543Mhz already listed on this thread was a p4 (badged as a celeron)

Lets face it, the liquid nitrogen isnt the problem the problem is that no one have developed a good solution for the Liquid Nitrogen cooler, the answer is already with us if you have watched the movie “Paycheck”…….

There is also a significant electrostatic force even at low voltages when metal layers are getting this small. It's been a while since physics lessons for me, proportional to voltage I think? It is enough that storing the same value in memory locations moves the metal layers enough that after a couple of months you can read eg encryption keys with an electron microscope as the device has permanently deformed!
For Intel, the 4790k achieved 7Ghz at 2 yes ago… wccftech . com / intel-devils-canyon-flagsip-core-i7-4790k-massively-overclocked-7-ghz-barrier-broken/
Platinum
Why Windows XP?
I'd guess due to it's low overhead - quick to boot and relatively “simple” in its construct.
