<<Intel has done this before. In the past they've used special cooling systems to enable the processor to run faster than it would under real world conditions.>>

I was working inside an IBM PC today and someone made mention about the huge honkin heat sink. I told the story about cooling the 400 mhz and 700 mhz and added that the PC manufacturers should use that excess heat as a marketing point instead of a liability to repair. i.e. build a cooking slot into the machine to heat up lunch and sandwiches, or keep you coffee warm. Even better, you could install filters and copper tubes to actually MAKE coffee!

Forget copper-wire technology. The Intel Pentium II processor with copper-tube technology serves you piping hot beverages nearly five times faster than the Power PC G3!
