AliBiDan - re: ". AMD called 1.1 GHZ 1.1 GHZ. Intel engineers presented 1.5 GHZ as 1.5 GHZ, but then had to watch some marketing types blather about parts of the chip running twice as fast - confusing the issue and casting suspicion over the whole demo" Intel reported exactly what they had - just as you said - a 1.5 GHz CPU with some internals running at 3 GHz. Confusion? Maybe. Confusion by people - SCUMBRIA NOTABLY - who REFUSED to accept that it was technologically possible. The confusion arose because Intel achieved that which has never before been done. An Innovation by Intel - which I guarantee you will be copied by AMD, IBM and every other CPU manufacturer within the next year or two. Jealousy and denial abound - and these are cast under the guise of confusion. Buckle up, AlibiDan - AMD is going for a Roller Coater ride as they try to keep up with Intel. Paul
