It's amazing the gall of Intel. They overclocked the crap out of the p3 to get it to 1ghz.
oh I'm sorry its increase yeilds when they do it.
Now they spawn out this paper 1.13 processor. they should have just made a recipe.
take one p3 processor
add 1 dumbed down vc820MB (to improve stability)
limit the board temp to 62C and add a big HSF(cool that baby way down)
crank the juice way up.
tweak the multiplyer
and voila you get 1 genuine intel OC'd to the tits 1.13 ghz processor.
One point people seem to neglect when slamming intel is the lengths they've gone to OC this dated processor in an attempt to beat AMD.
The athlon 1.1Ghz will run on any socket A MB at most with a bios update and they had one running at 1.1 in march.
Intel is jamming FUD down the uninformed throats in an attempt to stem the blood loss until they can rush the P4 out the door.
