Cirruslvr,

Re: "Can an efficient design of the processor itself enable higher clock
speeds or is it soley based on the process the processor is manufactured on?
(Maybe Tech, or Yousef can answer that one)"

I would be happy to give you my thoughts ... It takes both a good/efficient
design AND a high performance IC process to enable high clock speeds. So
since AMD is having such a hard time getting above 400mhz, I wonder which
element is lacking ... Is it poor design OR inferior IC process ?? Did
you just "cringe", Cringe ?? <ggg>

Make It So,
Yousef
