Scumbria - <This is not a 3 GHz CPU, and probably isn't a 1.5 GHz CPU either. Intel has stated that it is 30% faster than Coppermine, and won't ship until Q4.>

You are being very nit-picky.

1) Intel said the base frequency ws 1.5GHz. They DID NOT SAY IT IS A 3GHZ CHIP.

2) They did say that the integer unit runs at 3.0 GHz. IT CERTAINLY DOES! Little xtors humming along with incredibly low inverter delay. I HAVE TO EAT MY HAT ON THAT ONE. Feel free to be skeptical about the performance gain. With no benchmarks available yet, this is reasonable.

<Another thing to remember is that a very deep pipeline will be much harder to tune. This is because it undoubtedly is very balanced already, and has a limited number of gates per stage to work with.>

You're over my head now. I will ask around how the tuning is going.
