Ten, I'm assuming this allows for faster execution of a string of instructions which are affected by RAW hazards (i.e. the next instruction depending on the results of the previous one). And my assumption is that RAW hazards occur a lot, even with all of the out-of-order execution. RAW hazards are extremely common. Most instructions are dependent on results from previous instructions. I'm told by a Willamette guy that the "Fireball" core (as it's internally called) does indeed run at 3.0 GHz. Intel said that the ALU runs at 3 GHz. That is a far cry from the core running at 3 GHz. Scumbria
