That's a bit of an exaggeration. A 386 is not capable of running at 
anywhere near 1GHz due to path lengths inside the chip. I recall one of 
the most recent production 486 chips being clocked to 250MHz (fastest 
production model was about 133MHz IIRC) using liquid nitrogen, which 
worked fine - until the last of nitrogen evaporated.
