Paul: Exactly - at the SAME operating frequency of a NON-SOI product. Sigh, Paul. You just don't get it. I think you go through these messages too quickly (mixing up your AMDs and INTCs an' all that). Or maybe it's the switching to and from your Yousef alias that leaves you slightly dazed. Ok, back to the subject at hand: IBM claims power is reduced by a factor of 1.7 to 3 (keeping frequency constant). The other claim made (by someone on this thread - maybe combjelly or maybe just repeated by him) was that SOI provided an increase in frequency of (roughly) 30% and a decrease in power consumption of 30%. This was the claim you disputed. What I am pointing out is merely that the and in the claim is fully supported by IBM's public claims. Using the lowest factor (1.7) and linear scaling of power consumption with operating frequency, we get a reduction in power consumption by ~25% at an operating frequency increase of 30%. Now, IBM has a lot riding on SOI and might be bluffing / exaggerating / lying / whatever, but this is what they are claiming. -fyo
