Via conceivably tech:
The most extreme announcement we have seen so far comes from custom PC maker Origin, which will begin selling its Sandy Bridge Big O and genesis models late next Sunday. Based on the 32 nm 3.4 GHz Core i7-2600K processor, the manufacturer said it will overclock the CPU to a stable 5 GHz.
15- and 17-inch Notebooks based on Sandy Bridge will follow later in Q1, the company said.
Pricing for the new computers isn’t finalized yet, but the Big O should be less than what the company charged for a comparable 4.3 GHz Nehalem system, we are told. The last Big O started at about $7800, while high-end configurations went past $16,000. This sounds excessive, but if we remember that high-end Core 2 Duo computers went for well more than $25,000 from companies such as the now headless Voodoo PC, Origin’s pricing could be almost considered to be reasonable.
Seems excessive to me, but if you've got five grand to blow go ahead.
