In your opinion, could Willamette ALU run at 3GHz air-cooled on Intel's 0.18 transistors? I am here at IDF. I saw the Albert's demo and Glen's presentation and demos. I was very impressed with the 1.5GHz. 3GHz ALU is even more impressive, although, it is only a tiny percent of the whole die. Albert's presentation was designed for maximum effect. When a quick 1.5GHz frequency utility demo was run, Albert did not say anything about how the chip was cooled. Then he quickly switched to a different system and ran some 3D rendering. During this second demo Albert and his partner engaged in a lively conversation showing everybody that it was running air-cooled. Of course now it was not displaying the frequency. The impression was created that the 1.5GHz system is running 3D rendering air-cooled. But for all we know, 1.5GHz system could have been floating in liquid helium, while the one running 3d rendering was running at 800MHz. BTW, Albert was not running the presentation on Willamette. This nonsense rumor can be traced to Albert?s mangling his presentation and joking that he doesn?t want this presentation to run at 1.5GHz, but much slower, so that he would be able to keep up. Kap
