AMD announces 1GHz ATI Radeon HD 4890
It’s finally happened (and it was about time!). The graphics processor has finally reached the gigahertz plateau thanks to the introduction of the new factory over-clocked ATI Radeon HD 4890 GPU from AMD. While many computer enthusiasts have broken the gigahertz barrier with their respective GPUs, this is the first commercially available GPU to hit 1GHz using standard air-cooling techniques. Yes.. no need to break out some fancy schmancy cooling techniques here folks. Couple several of these 1GHz GPUs together and you’ve got yourself one fast graphics powerhouse of a system! Maybe it’s time for me to revisit PC gaming again!
