No it was 5000F,  since the comment was something about being 1/2 the 
temperature of the sun.  Thats what the picture of the probe was show in the 
picture.  Ever since Tom's Hardware redesigned the site,  I can never find 
links to the old stuff.   The CPU didn't survive.  The problem is I remember 
the pictures for the article more what was in the article about the AMD CPU. 
It was talking about the new thermal protection in the Intel vs AMD.

If they ever change to Diamond semiconductors,  they could do at least 1000F 
before overheating.    I'm not sure if they will use cooling or even what 
they will use to cool it.
