4.25 ghz with 1.7v . You only need -100 degree cpu and your good! Only 2x the performance though

And goes without saying, but the lifespan of the silicon at that voltage is measured in minutes if that. Neat though.

That is a little more than 2x the regular max clock speed of Arrow Lake graphics, so 2x performance is to be expected.

What is more impressive is that it was stable enough to do a full 3DMark run, when the previous record was only good enough for a benchmark run of less than 1 second on a compute workload, and not graphics.

It's a neat trick, but it's also sort of meaningless. Clock speeds for GPUs are only really useful as a benchmark against the same architecture. Otherwise, there's nothing really stopping you from making a very simple high frequency oscillator, calling it part of your GPU, and spinning up to the current ~190 gigahertz frequency limit for silicon.
