Paul,

Yesterday you vehemently denied that 0.18 micron transistors could even OPERATE at 3 GHz.

And NOW you claim that the ALU DOES operate at 3 GHz, doing adds, shifts, and LOGIC operations - yet it is INCONSEQUENTIAL !!!!


This is what I said:

"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."

Find someone at Intel who will claim the control logic runs at 3 GHz.
