TL;DR:<\/strong> The race to 1GHz was very much a real thing at the turn of the century. It was quite entertaining as well, coming down to a photo finish between AMD and Intel (the former took the win by mere days). These days, you can’t find a new desktop processor from AMD or Intel with a clock speed under 1.6GHz or so. But, you can underclock an existing chip to run much slower and that’s exactly what YouTuber NTDEV did in his latest video. <\/p>\n

As part of a quest to the bottom, the YouTuber managed to successfully boot into Windows 7 Ultimate and even multitask with more than one program open at once. It’s not nearly as glamorous as it sounds as Windows had to be run in Safe Mode and loads of system resources needed to be disabled.<\/p>\n
