Intel's quad-core Kentsfield processor isn't even out yet. Intel expects to release it in the fourth quarter of this year but members of the XtremeSystems forums have already gotten their hands on some engineering samples of the chip and are overclocking the pants off them.
One of these members, who goes by the name of Stoolman, got his Kentsfield up from the stock speed of 2.66GHz to a clock speed of 4.8GHz. The processor did need just under 1.9V of juice along with a healthy supply of liquid nitrogen to get to that speed, and it stayed within a fairly chilly range of -170C to -180C (-274F to -292F).
