Its why I think the Core i9 is a disguised Emergency Edition CPU which uses leakier silicon.

This has got to be an April fool?

If it is not impressive during a real world use, than the records are not all that important!Normal user will never buy equipment like this to cool cpu, makes no sense and it is unstable.Looks like intel makes chips just for overclockers just for marketing purposes!

So true - Would I rather have a chip that works well with standard cooling (AMD) or a chip I need LN2 to really benefit from (intel)?
