A while back I proposed a theory that Intel's CuMines suffer from the same yield problem as AMD's K6-3. Namely, that too much leakage, especially in the cache transistors, resulted in excess noise, which meant that switching speeds had to be reduced. (The K6-3 never got above 450 MHz and the vast majority only made it to 400 MHz. Also, it used a 2.4v power supply vs. 2.2v for the K6-2. Higher voltage=more noise immunity.)

Petz,

When you say "excess noise", do you mean friction? It will be interesting to see what THEWATSONYOUTH says.

BTW sorry to see your RMBS trade go south.......eventually it will crash and burn but not this week.
