Actually, they have. That chip consumes 260W of power at IDLE.

Using that amount of power why do they say it needs no extra cooling?
Had me hooked until you mentioned that aspect.

Well, they said they needed water cooling (recommended) past 4 ghz...
I was looking at the article a few weeks ago and decided to check out the forums, some guys there pointed that out.

liquid cooling costs alot to refill. better not get a 4ghz processor just yet till they figured out a way to be cost efficient.

I think that a CPU is that consumes about 7x more power than most processors and may last only 2-3 years is not cost efficient to begin with.
