Elmer,

The fact is the ALU DOES run at 3GHz despite your claims that it was impossible

Nonsense. This claim was based on the fact that simple logic operations (and, or, not) can complete in PH1 and forward to PH2. This is a novel idea, but does not constitute a 3 GHz ALU by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, some ALU operations (add) only run at 2/3 of the clock speed (1 GHz.) Most ALU operations take a full cycle (1.5 GHz.)

Anyway, Intel has been sampling at 1 GHz, because that is the real speed of the first silicon.
