Announced yesterday, IBM has developed the world’s fastest micro-processing unit, a 5.2GHz monster:
The company is boldly claiming that the chip within IBM’s new zEnterprise clocks in at 5.2GHz, making it the world’s fastest microprocessor.
We’re sure this claim could be challenged on multiple fronts, namely by hardcore overclockers who have seen their own chips operate at much higher speeds with the help of liquid nitrogen.
But IBM’s new silicon doesn’t require any complicated cooling; it’s just blisteringly fast.
Yay. Apparently they spent over 1.5 billion dollars on it.
Now, this would be much more important to me when I was a hardcore gamer but that life is now very much gone.
But could you imagine how awesome it would be?
How often do you update your machine based on speed these days?
Speak your mind...
