You might think a 9 second Talon or 8 second vette is performance, but how about a P4 @ 5.24 GHz (http://www20.tomshardware.com/cpu/20031230/index.html)
There is a cool video there too. They used liquid nitrogen for the cooling.

Liquid nitrogen is nothing new, been done for years. I remember 2 years ago, someone nitrogen cooled a Pentium 4 Northwood 1.6 (or some low number to) a damn 3.6GHz. It was awesome.

True, liquid nitrogen isn't new... but 5.25 GHz is :) I wouldn't mind having it, even if it is an intel

Yea, it would be cool... it lasts for the whole 10 minutes till it goes empty. ;)

But imagine how much folding you could get done in that time. 10 mins is enough to run a benchmark.
