ATI's Radeon'R' X1800 XT Breaks 1 GHz Speed Barrier

[adrian]

An independent team of Finnish over-clockers has made world history by over-clocking a graphics processor to engine clock levels above 1 GHz. The record was set on the recently-announced Radeon® X1800 XT graphics processor from ATI Technologies Inc...

...The team, optimistic that higher speeds could ultimately be achieved with the Radeon X1800 XT, attained the record speeds using a custom-built liquid nitrogen cooling system that cooled the graphics processor to minus-80 degrees Celsius.

You sure that's not in Farenheit? Minus 80 Celcius is really cold.

With processing speed like that what can one imagine in graphics?

That's the regular temps modders use to overclock their computers. And probably that won't be used for gaming (atleast it won't last that long).
