This article is wrong. IBM had a 5GHz commercially available processor in 2008.
This CPU is a highly overclocked and cherry picked existing FX-8xxx CPU. As power consumption goes up more than linearly with clock speed, the 220W power use is to be expected and you will need a special expensive motherboard as well.
Also this is beaten by a lot of Intel CPUs, in both single and multi-threaded tasks. Its performance/$ is very poor.
The only reason to buy this is if you absolutely need the fastest AMDpnly CPU.
