Pentium 4 2.4GHz tweaked to reach 4.01GHz

The overclocking community is always on to something big. Intel's ultra popular Pentium 4 processors are usual targets, even though the Chipzilla has always harshly condemned the practice. We had already shown P4s tweaked to reach 3 and 3.6 GHz. Now, the bar is raised, with one of the processors reaching 4010MHz, or approximately 4 giga.

The Pentium 4 2.4 GHz running at 4 GHz overcloking experience was recently posted in Holicho's homepage and quickly linked in VR-Zone's OC Database. In this year's CeBIT Hannover, Intel made a very brief demonstration of a Pentium 4 at 4.1GHz, breaking the last record set by the company at the Intel Developers Forum of 4 GHz. In both cases, the prototype was not shown but, instead, the achievement could be seen through a video in the company's press conference.

Still, consumers will still have to wait until the end of this year to get their P4s running at "modest" 3GHz. Until then, you can take a look at "WCPUID MAX 4.0GHz (Pentium4 2.4GHz SL65R)", which is currently in the front page of Holicho's.
