YOYOTech has announced that it will be "adding in huge extra value for its high-end customers by bundling a free BlackBerry Bold" with its Intel Fi7epower MLK1610 PC system.

The awkwardly-named system claims to be the "world's fastest PC", and features an Intel Core i7 960 processor overclocked to 3.73GHz, 9GB of DDR3 memory, a solid state drive, AMD's Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics card and Blu-ray functionality, too.

It's a mighty system alright, but it isn't easy to sell a £4,000 PC at the best of times, and it's even tougher when the world's economy is facing peril. Will bundling a free BlackBerry be enough to entice would-be buyers? YOYOTech managing director, CK, seems to think so and states that "the kind of customers who want a system like Fi7EPOWER, also want to be constantly linked to the world."

We're not sure it'll do the trick, but if you just so happen to have been contemplating buying a £4,000 system, now might be the time, and you can take advantage of YOYOTech's offer at yoyotech.co.uk/bold.

Well that's one way to try and shift systems, guess they have to considering it's not even remotely close to being the fastest PC in the world ..aside from in some obscure bit of software. I mean 3.7GHz?? You regularly see people with 4GHz+ on air posting benchmarks and only the other week there was a system at CeBIT that was on Hexus that was running at 4.4GHz, easily massively faster. Bit of a con if you ask me.

I disagere. I haven't seen the benchmarks but I would argue generally speaking performance in software is far more important than the highest cycles per second. Also it may be referring to the fastest commercially available PC.

Don't forget these guys have to apply a warranty to this complete system, I'd imagine the number of returns they'd get to be VERY high if they clocked them all at 4.4Ghz.

this is a very good point overlooked by many people, keeping warranty on overclocked pc is very nice.

but i do agree to use “worlds fastest pc” is cheeky if it means commericially put that, but that still isnt true lol.

Worlds fastest……… really?

Shame that I am sat here watching one of our engineers QC a Black Widow clocked at 4Ghz :rockon2:

Also comes with 2 year warranty as standard :rolleyes:
