Consider when a 1.4GHz processor was deeming the worlds fastest? Man that was ages ago. Newly, IBM has lain declare to that very record, with its 5.2GHz z196 processor being the central point. Of course, we’ve seen a number of consumer chips hum along at speeds well beyond that (thanks to sophisticated cooling systems, of course), but this here enterprise chip does it without any liquid nitrogen-based support.

I believe intel has had various levels of 3.x Ghz available for years now, in fact, I bought a 3.4 Ghz cpu almost 4 years ago. Also, this isn't on the market so what's the point of comparing it to the market?

this is a joke or what.Quad Core proc 2 ghz which mean 2ghz * 4 = 8 ghz.This is sold in shop now.The normal benchmark for my system just a few 20 second time something enchance the program speed.
RawThinkTank replied ago:
i think each core is 5.2 GHz

intel cannot push more then 3ghz one core.So there seperate it.So they will quadx2 only max 3ghz per core.If ibm can create one core 5ghz.Maybe it great.
