Scumbria - <1. The 1.5 GHz CPU was not air cooled.> Watch Yu's IDF keynote (#2). They specifically state that the 1.5 demo was, quote, "air cooled". This stuff that it wasn't is wild rumor. Check JC's and Ace's. <The fact that an ALU runs at 3 GHz is almost inconsequential. All that an Intel ALU does is 32 bit add, shift, and logical operations. Running that tiny piece of the pipe at 3 GHz will have almost no affect on overall performance.> We'll have to wait for the benchmarks on this. I have been specifically told that this feature will be a substantial performance boost to integer operations, but I have no way to back this up. Benchmarks. <3. The real clock speed was a hybrid 1GHz/500 MHz.> Are you going nuts??? Yu kept referring to the 1.5GHz number in a goofy way, something like "1000 MHz plus 500", but that wasn't why. The whole damn thing has been hashed over on JC's boards to no end. Why don't you take a moment and go catch up. PB
