Reply to comment by r_golan_trevize in Intel breaks the 6GHz barrier with $699 Core i9-13900KS processor by Avieshek

Think you're confusing 1-3MHz with 1MHz-3GHz. In the 1990's, chipsets were running in the 100's of MHz. The first 1Mhz chip was in the 1970's, the first commercial PC, the Altair 8800 used a 2MHz Intel 8080. The original IBM PC in 1981 released with a 4.77 MHz CPU. In 1995, the Intel P5 was running at 100MHz, and in 2000 AMD released the first 1 GHz CPU.
