Fastest Intel CPU Overclock
We all know the latest CPU for desktop user is Intel Core2 Quad processor (what is Core2?). I don’t think much people have this CPU at home due to its price. It really not cheap at all. An Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Processor (2.83Ghz) cost USD$570!
The Tom’s Hardware team succeed to set a new world record for CPU overclocking by using Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz. At the end of the lab, they have made the new record at 5.1Ghz for Quad processors!! Fantastic.
