jmke | 26th June 2003 06:47 | Tabula Rasa Semantics, in Microprocessor Burn-in Liquid3D, our newest Madshrimp, has finished writing an immense article on Microprocessor development and Burn-in, also rectifying certain errors made in his previous editorial, in Part 1 we see him taking a look at the low/high end Tbreds and also the latest P4 incarnation at 800Mhz FSB. Quote:
"In my last article; "AMD Ingots, sliced TBread, with the crusts cut off" I proposed a hypothesis which purported to explain the propensity for "low speed" Thoroughbred-B's (1700 - 2100) to attain extraordinarily high clock-speeds. Athlon 1700's were achieving speeds as high as 2.7GHz on air cooling and minimal voltages. And in a few cases the coveted "double overclock" was achieved via LN2, and phase-change. Unfortunately, several of the premises on which my theory rested were incorrect. Here is correct version based on true facts, many hours and days of research has gone into this article. I hope you like it!"
