    My first computer had a 1.8MHz Z80 in it, ~1980.

    Heard people say the same about 10MHz, 100MHz, 1GHz, 5GHz...

    Clock speed got out of hand and things are being re-balanced towards the "brainiac" approach of more work per clock. That doesn't mean that more GHz is bad, and it *will* start creeping back up again.

    One thing you can be certain of, when they do come out there will be threads like this with our children moaning "I had my 5THz CPU on order for weeks and still no sign"

    BTW, Scan are now showing 5000+ and 5200+ OEM in stock (at the risk of going on topic).

    Why are you all talking about whether we are going to see a 5000Ghz proccessor in the next 15 years.

    I thought the original question is why there is such a shortage for 5000+ cpu?

    And if there is anywhere that have them in stock for a reasonable amount?

    lol

    The discussion got out of hand a wee bit when I commented that it wasnt a 5000GHz processor but just a 5000+ rating..

    Again, splitting cores can only do so much, clockspeed will begin its reincarnation when viral resonance chips becomes commercialised in the next decade or two.
    Me want Ultrabook

    Im sure i did check a few days ago and they showed as out of stock... but dont think the search on the site picked up the O.E.M version.

    Sorted!

    The 5000+ chip has been available for preorder from most of the online retaliers for about 6months, it hasn't come into stock with any of them which is why some have removed it from their listings. The 5000+ by the looks of things is a figment of AMD's imagination, I had to settle for the 4600+ due to time constraints for my build.
