if it's not been used in a benchmark i fail to see how this is impressive at all as given once ran could artifact and crash.

Well that just shows your either shortsighted or new at this. To hit 4ghz it was obviously boosting, which means it had some sort of load on it and still ran. This is a milestone simply due to the fact that its never been done before , paving the way for the future. Welcome to the basics of technology in the pc industry.

It's just a number unless it runs and works at that speed it's pointless, i'd hardly call displaying a 2d image anything amazing for a GPU. I get it as an overclock but it's not impressed me, if it had a 3d mark score or something then we'd be talking.

It's on LN2. So once again this advertisement is misleading and nothing but willy waving from Asus.
Oh and the fact it will cost about 3k.

All the normal epeen stuff, i get it.
Thing is just cause even if it did run at 4Ghz still in essence means nothing if your going to compare things as a frequency on one ark doesnt mean it'll be better than another on a lower frequency that isn't how it works.
Last time i checked that is not the case on anything enterprise grade often clocked lower and performing better.
My point is simple no numbers = pointless.
reason scalability i.e you have 4Ghz but gain 1% and cost how much power ?

That's the definition of extreme overclocking! You are on a thread about it, you should expect it.
I agree with you, it's pointless, but not everyone agrees with us, and, in the end it still serves to illustrate and encourage progress in hardware development.

While i'd generally agree with that, GPU tech is about to hit a wall it's chiplet or nowhere, as nm scale isnt even real anymore it's all potential or effectively an upgrade over the last nm the actual size in IRL terms is very similar, like the term node shrink thing is the node isnt really shriking in the way it did in the past it's just effectively better than before.
Give it time and we will be on double chip boards. GPUs will be introduced into the world of Duocore, quadcore etc etc.
Wafer tech is coming along fast and smooth, but eventually it will either need new never seen before cutting edge technology to drop below sub 1nm wafers, or a new direction entirely.
