Do you remember what magazine that was in?
It's hard to imagine anyone thinking 50MHz was a fundamental limit to circuit design, or computers, in the 90s. I am very curious what their argument was.
The Cray-1 ran 80MHz in the 70s.

FM is faster than that and it's been around a long time.

- trhway 5y agoit was in USSR, so there would have been natural delay in the stuff getting printed there, and also it may have been end of 80-ties. My point here isn't about specific numbers and dates, it is that relatively short period between me reading about the limit and experiencing it getting broken left me with big doubts about the limits, and made me thinking about them more as the limits of our world view and less as real physical limits. Similar like "c" happens to be a speed limit only in the fixed spacetime.
