AMD Makes Powerful Gigahertz Chip

"Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has
reached the milestone gigahertz mark with a
new Athlon processor that will make
computers 10 times faster than just six years
ago, paving the way for speedier software
and games. A gigahertz processes information at 1,000
megahertz, or 1 billion bits of information per
second - a speed many engineers thought
impossible just a decade ago...."
