Pentium's back...with a vengeance

Pentium E2140 : 120% OC Stable on Water - XtremeSystems Forums

No reviews up that I can see, and it seems to be only some places in the UK and far east that have them for sale, but could these chips could mark the return of the budget-friendly overclocker's weapon of choice, taking over from the good old Opty 144?

17.5s Super Pi from a Ã‚Â£57 chip is pretty ridiculous, considering that's the kind of time you'd get with a Ã‚Â£700 C2D Extreme at stock. Obviously all the Core-based chips OC very well, but it's great to know that even the really budget ones do as well.

I'd like to see how fast you could go on air-cooling.

I noticed these on OCuk the other day, they look pretty sweet. 120% overclock is just insane. 1MB Cache just seems really small now-a-days though!
