Well a "gang" of professional physicists with engineers have enough of the credentials and knowledge needed to test such things to their theaoretical peak -> like what is done at LHC. This needs professional rather than amateur overseeing. I've seen similar major testings at Lockheed where my uncle used to supervise, the experiments (trials and testings) done for the government are simply mind boggling and always held under secrecy since no one else but one or two government agencies working with the department of defense will ever know or be able to do them. Just like how the internet was made. The equipment needed is usually not available to anyone other in the world apart from similar contracting companies. I guarantee you they have and are working on some cooling devices you have never heard of and many times never will.

Lower fab node means a smaller manufacturing process i.e., 65nm to 45nm, or 45nm to 32nm, etc.
High-k allows lower power saving, larger leakage but higher frequnecies.
Low-k allows large power savings, much less leakage but lower frequnecies.

Are you sure about your efficiency? APFC will be higher than just PFC by circuit design limitations.

My 9500 is running on WCG for just over a day now at 2.42GHz CPU, near 2GHz NB/HT. No problems at all.

0743.

I swear before it was on WCG I could not put the HT 1MHz above without freezes and delays for 2 days.
Now I moved it 10MHz up and down through AOD and it moved very fast (no clock generator delay - instant clock changes like with C2D).

This is just so confusing.
