TWY,

Re:"random X-sections of notches"

Well perhaps it doesn't matter too much.

CPU's are synchronous beasts so as long as the delay path on average is reduced is all that counts.

Clearly not as good as excellent control and notch on every transistor.

Bottom line is as long as it doesn't effect overall DPW it may not matter.

It would give a wider speed distribution though.

May explain the advent of coppermine 533's to cumine 800's.

As they perfect their control they will likely tighten the speed bin ranges.

Just my .02.

regards,

Kash
