Intel has released this statement on their new Sexium processors, which will debut at 5 GHz. “We’ve easily surpassed the performance level of the Pentium III 1GHz (but not the 1.13GHz) with our new .32 Angstrom architecture. By reducing the amount of work done per cycle until we could get the clock up to 5GHz, we’ve made significant gains in ancillary features sets such as ambient room comfort for colder climates. Also, the processors appear to generate hydrogen from atmospheric moisture.”
