techspot CPUs/GPUs can double clock speeds with experimental diamond substrate for better cooling

Martin Roscheisen, Diamond Foundry CEO, told The Wall Street Journal that chips using their synthetic diamond wafer can operate at a minimum of twice their rated clock speed without failing. In the lab, company engineers have even reportedly managed to get one of Nvidia's most powerful chips to run at three times its base clock.

CPU makers are experimenting with alternative substrates to double clock speeds

Maybe this would make overclocking more meaningful again. Seems pretty interesting.

Nah we got 4ghz pentium D

we never even got that 

 

they announced a single core 4.0 Ghz P4 Prescott and then axed it before launch because yields were too low. highest clocked Pentium D was the 965 EE @ 3.7.

Was sure the p4 4ghz existed.

And oops for the pentium D.

 

 

It somewhat do. Pentium 4 580 ht
