Building on the success of the recently launched ATI Radeon™ HD 4890 graphics card — driven by the world’s most powerful graphics processor1 — AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced availability of a factory overclocked graphics processor that is the first to break the 1 Gigahertz (GHz) barrier using standard air-cooling solutions. “The ATI Radeon HD 4890 continues to impress everyone with its ability to be pushed beyond clock speeds once considered only possible with high end liquid-cooling solutions,” explained Zvika Greenstein, manager, GPG Product Marketing, AMD. “The fact that 1GHz was reached with inexpensive air cooling marks an important milestone. We are likely to see game enthusiasts take advantage of the overclocking potential, drawing out every last ounce of performance from the 1GHz 4890.”
