Hi Tenchusatsu; Re quad pumped versus double pumped buses.

Suppose you had a double pumped system, but you replaced the system clock with a half frequency clock, and also put a 1 to 2 clock multiplier on each chip. The result could be called a "quad pumped" bus, but it would exhibit all the behaviour of a double pumped bus.

That is, request signals, cache snoop signals, bus arbitration, etc., would still be running at the same frequency, all that would change was the system's main clock. But then again, who cares, it's just words.
