Kap,

1.5GHz core, 3GHz ALUs numbers seem to be solid.

What are they calling the ALU? A bit shifter? I can guarantee that the control logic for the integer unit is not running at 3 GHz. The latch delays and clock skew would make that impossible.

There are rumors swirling around that it was a specially cooled part built with the experimental 0.13 process.

That is incredibly slimy of them to try to create the impression of an air cooled 0.18u part running at 1.5 Ghz.
