If you guys were planning on seeing this at newegg, I wouldn't hold your breath. These chips are the cream of the crop and VERY limited in supply. Your best bet in getting one is to show AMD how good of a tweaker you are.

So this means, i have to spend gazillion on new hw, break few WR's and then i might get permission to buy one? Or i will have to tweak my setup, squeez every mhz out of it, and then tweak os to get some nice numbers ?

Or is this just a PR trick and they ship twkr Cpu's to enthustiast OC legends?

I think these are a PR move by AMD to drum up some positive press. Sounds like there are very few of these chips, so even spending a gaizillion $$ on new hardware won't purchase one.

How about Intel release a 6-core Pentium 4 on 32nm process with 12 threads, called "TITWKR" (This Is The W-a-n-K-e-R) edition? And it can clock to 10GHz at sub-zero temps while consuming over 300W?

Still it's performance will be sucky.

I was told that the CPU wasn't for sale, but they could have changed their minds later....

What do u mean claiming? Its 2009, June, do u not seen AMD CPUs about 6500-6900MHz with LN2/LHe? U must only more to read.
This post, if it real, is with watercooling, not LN2 and up 5GHz is great! Santos wrote about watercooling block.

5.3 is possible, but why would they make that std. frekvens so high that its impossible to use with non-xtreme cooling?
3.4 or 3.5 is closer i guess

Eh... I honestly find this pretty cool, assuming it does actually come out.

Maybe I just like the idea of companies hand picking better silicon for their consumers that want to pay a little (or in this case, probably a lot) more.

I know it's obviously done with processors, which is how higher tiers are created, but to specially cater to enthusiasts is just neat, in my opinion.

This reminds me of those video cards... What was it, the 2900XTs or something? The special editions, came with a lifetime warranty, a briefcase box to keep them in... Ah, I can't remember for the life of me. It was a very limited edition of ATI cards.
