Intel Breaks Gigahertz Barrier
Intel Breaks Gigahertz Barrier lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.
Intel Breaks Gigahertz Barrier is another February 1999 item worth filing away, because the small notices often tell you where the industry is heading next.
The names attached here include Intel Corporation, GHz, Pentium III, and Intel Developer Forum. The hook is demo. The hard numbers include 1 GHz, 0.25, and 0.18.
The hardware race is getting mean now. Every new board, driver, chip, and oddball peripheral is trying to be the thing that makes your rig feel less old by next week.
