Scumbria,

Your arguments seem to assume that K7 is stuck at 600 MHz. I expect K7 MHz to
ramp up quite quickly. It is a new design, and appears to have had minimal speed
work done so far.

1. I thought you said the K7 was all by-hand laid out. Wasn't that at least partially for speed optimization purposes?

2. Did Meyer talk about design rules for the K7, like rule of thumb maximum number of logic levels between latches, or clocks? You have always been impressed by the deepness of the pipeline in the K7, did they also keep it "short and sweet" between the latches?

Tony
