It is clear that we a witnessing a new marketing
twist of Intel. Clearly they are talking not about
a simple state machines and latched pipelines,
but rather about sort of coupled pipelines where
each of them is running at regular speed, but the
inter-synchronization is done at double clock, or
even higher. It could be similar to the new IBM "interlocked pipelines", or something else like
the frequency of falling domino.

One thing is clear: the Willy's "frequency" is
not the same frequency we are accustomed to deal
with. I wish if any of those web-scribblers could
ask presenters about the definition of the new
Intel frequency.

I guess the real test now how good the real
benchmarks are. Otherwise a microwave oven will
probably win the CPU MHz race :)
