Upcoming 32nm Intel Clarkdale CPU Hitting 4GHz

The famous overclocker Coolaler has posted a few spy pics of what appears to be a 32nm Clarksdale processor and some CPUZ screenshots of the very same processor easily hitting 4GHz on air with just 0.832V. For those of you too lazy to hit the link, here's the pics:

Holy moses. That is a looooowwww voltage.

I feel sorry for AMD already..

Nice one by Intel though

I wonder what AMD is going to throw out at this...

4GHZ @ 0.8V ???!?! Wont somebody please think of the childrennn!!

kwl, anyone know when they're coming out?

edit: just googled around a little. Some people are saying Q4 2009 will see teh shipping start. woot!
I wonder what the temps were on that overclock...

for some reason I remember someone saying I7's only needed like .8V but when they came out the stock was still around 1.25..... so i'm not really buying this

i know i know..they have pics...but i just find it to be fishy

Engineering samples are fun. Not that they are cherry picked or anything for people to get extreme numbers out of.

Yeah it is probably one of (if not the) best of them so far. Still though, that's pretty crazy it can get that high on low voltage, wonder if that is the stock heat sink or not though.

It's all relative though. With such a low min there will also be a lower max. There will always be a voltage ceiling when it comes to overclocking.
