Virtualbox WTF bug

[fela]

Hey, looks like I'm a great overclocker! ;)

btw this is in virtualbox (as title suggests). You couldn't of thought for a second that I would actually be running windows natively....could you? :lol:

Greetings, visitor from the future. Welcome to 2009. How long before we have processors like that?

Never. It defies laws of physics (unless we develop some hyper-efficient cooling hardware...)

but the future is paralellism, not mindlessly ramping up clock speed as was done a couple of years ago or so with the Prescott, up to 3.8GHz stock on the EE P4 I belive....

WRONG!!!!!!


It is impossible using the current technologies we use, but that's because we restrict ourselves to Silicon.

Diamonds are a geeks best friend (http://blog.mehall.co.cc/?p=68), however.

But in theory parallelism, if used properly, can yield much more performance than raw CPU power on a single chip, by today's standards, and I think it's likely to remain that way.But not until we actually develop applications properly designed for more than a few cores (or just one in many sad cases), will we be able to properly leverage this power.

Seriously, how'd you do that?

its a glitch / bug in vrtualbox :popcorn: not possible :D
