Let's take back the speed crown from Finland and build a faster machine. I say we make use of liquid helium and flourinert in an all out assault on the 4GHz barrier! Maybe the Intel CPU engineer at this forum (can't recall his name) could furnish use with an engineering sample that has the multiplier unlocked. Whom else thinks this is a fine idea?
 
wingnutz pez is who youre probably thinking of, and he's gone....

just do the experiment in outer space, where the temperature is just above absolute zero 🙂

There's another Intel engineer who hangs out in the Highly Technical forum.
 
If your referring to John (Wingznut Pez), he is employed by Intel but he's not a microprocessor engineer... he's a fab technician. Perhaps your thinking of PM (Patrick Mahoney)?

Intel doesnt exactly make a habit of freely handing out engineering sample microprocessors.
You better have an extremely good reason why have need of one and why Intel should give one specifically to you if you expect to recieve one.

I'm thinking of Patrick Mahoney. Intel wouldn't give out an engineering sample regardless of the argument, even if I could make a compelling argument that it was cause AMD to disappear.

lol
If you could make AMD disappear I think that would be a pretty convincing reason 😉
Hell, if you could make AMD disappear forever they may just give you a lifetime supply of unlocked processors!
On second thought they might just prefer VIA to drop dead, it would certainly save them huge in legal fees.

Either that or kidnap someone that' running a major tech site and steal one of their engineering samples.... 🙂
Or if you want to go the legal route, as kidnapping and stealing isnt exactly a viable option you could become a mainboard designer, design core logic chipsets.... etc.
Those would be good reasons to get you one for testing purposes. 😀

Even Tom's Hardware couldn't get an engineering sample. Then again, they have reason to hate Tom's Hardware for shooting down the 1.13GHz coppermine. That's an idea, I should pretend to be a false mainboard corporation.

That's unusual then because Tom used to be able to get them practically on demand. I recall him mentioning one or twice that he had ahold of a few of those unreleased 2MB L2 Athlon's awhile back before it was canceled.
Anand once mentioned he had a computer set-up using one of those too.... would love to get my hands on something like that.

As is I've only seen a few engineering sample processors in person, and never owned one personally. Did get to test one out for awhile though.... but that was back in the Pentium II days.
 
You want an engineering sample for what reason? To supercool and overclock it?

I'm not very convinced that this idea will go down so well, but if you are seriously interested then submit a proposal including:

a very detailed description of exactly what you plan to do and why - preferrably with pictures of the cooling assembly that this will go into and with details of how the cooling assembly will function.
a description of why you think that this will be of benefit to Intel
include a mailing address,
email address,
and phone number

and send it to me: patrick.mahoney@intel.com

And I'll do my best to make sure that it gets through to the correct people for approval. The more detailed and professionally worded the proposal is, the more likely it is to have a realistic chance of being approved. But I honestly have my doubts that this is something that Intel as a corporation will be interested in supporting directly. If you are serious and are set up to do this, there is no harm in asking besides a little wasted time for both of us.

I'm not much interested in it myself, but I must say it's rather nice of you to offer to help him out in directing his application to the appropriate people PM. 🙂

Thank you very much. I'm already working on the design as we speak.
