Scumbria - <There is no way that the Willamette integer unit is running at 3 GHz in 0.18u at room temperature. Whatever they today did was something else other than what they tried to make it appear.>

Scumbria, in a way I agree with you. Discrete .18 xtors will not run at 3GHz.

However, lets say for example that the data transfer occurs as Dan and Anand say, at the rise and the fall of the clock. How would you characterize the speed of the Integer unit?

Isn't this the same sort of argument that occurs for FSB's? I.e., the EV6 is a 100MHz with 2x data transfer, and very commonly referred to as a 200MHz bus?
