Don't expect to match that OC, I wonder how many chips they fried before completing the bench.

And the heat output is...?

This is very interesting news. It sounds very powerful if it really can run at 5 ghz and not melt. Something to look forward to in the CPU market this year.

Yes, this is an important question to those of us looking to reduce our gas bills in winter by utilizing this 5GHz wonder as an auxiliary heating unit! Too bad that most won't be able to afford it for years to come.

regarding moore's law. how long has it taken for ghz to double from 2.5 ghz. 5 years or more ?

GHz is basically irrelevant.

The important measure is compute power per dollar.

If you examine what the GPU cards can do, then progress isn't just exponential, it's super-exponential.

If you do not wish to consider the GPU cards (which have limits due to their problem domain), then consider the AMD threadripper CPUs.
Their horsepower does not come from GHz but from core/thread count.

do the AMD threadripper CPUs benefit any tasks which parallelisation would not help

No, but those are mostly trivial tasks.
Most really hard tasks have a parallel nature.
