I'm Getting One Of These

It's the computer of tomorrow...today. I'm in the process of selling all my guitars, my comic book collection, and maybe even my car.

Don't forget to read all the fine print.

Wow. With all the heat this thing will create, do you think it can cook pizza's and wings ? This thing would be great for hockey games.

Also, CPUs with clockspeeds in the gigahertz range are simply too slow to keep up with today's most challenging workloads. In order to manage the most demanding computational tasks, (like AI/deep learning or having multiple Chrome tabs open) all iBrite CPUs run at a baseline of 1.4 Petahertz with a maximum overclock speed that is currently classified by the Department of Defense, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds.

My first thought was "But the CPU locks to the Motherboard, and the Cooler locks to the top of the CPU, so how can you see all the pretties?"

Sure enough, the video shows the CPU in place and the builder putting the Cooler on top, and the CPU disappears altogether.

The one thing I didn't do was click on the 'Purchase' button just to see what would happen.

[edit] There is no 'Purchase' button. There is a 'View More Details' button, and it led me to an entry to win a real Intel I99 Processor. Not bad!

That totally looks like something intel marketing would come up with, since all of the brainpower there is gone.

I loved the heat sink.
