Has Intel learnt nothing?

The GHz races were a joke

Yesterday, Intel lifted the kimono on its Core i9-14900KS, and while some were excited by the speeds it promised, for those old enough to remember, it was just a trip back to Chipzilla’s disastrous past.

For those who can’t be bothered clicking the link above the Core i9-14900KS, is here to remind us of those heady days, boasting a whopping 6.2 GHz right out of the box. This chip's not just fast—it's blazing fast, and it's got a price tag to match at $689..

But this is a nostalgia trip back to the speed-obsessed '90s and early 2000s, when clocking up the GHz was all the rage. Famously, that race was won by AMD in March 2000. It managed to beat Intel to 1 GHz in what was considered a major coup at the time. AMD held the crown for only a few weeks, but it did have bragging rights.
