RE:"Youssef is correct that theoretically the speed should stay unchanged.
However the shrink will definitely reduce the power dissipation, making
the chip run cooler at the same clock rate. A cooler chip runs faster. And
since the Athlon runs hot, a slight improvement is expected"...

This would be a new milestone...as Yousef hasn't said anything correct about process technology for 18 months...
