Wow, great find! Holy cow. I can't believe that. Just 72 dec C (I'm downloading the document now to read it myself). Amazing. [Edit: The 72 dec is the case temp- not quite the same as the die temp. I could not find the max die temp listed anywhere, but I cannot believe that the die to case drop would be as high as 23dec (95-72). Plus the 1.7 volts is the MAX voltage. Intel is guarenting that the processor will work at 1.55 volts also (vmin).] Additionally I don't know why the Intelbees are so happy with 2GHz in Q3 next year. Q3 next year is 9 months away. 2GHz would be only a 33% performance increase (assuming linear scaling- which will not happen). To keep with with the "Moor's Postulate (It's hardly a law!)", they need to double performance in about 18months. That would mean that they need to be at 3Ghz (1.5 X 2) by mid 2002. That would mean that they need to increase performance by 50% from Q3 next year to mid 2002 (3GHz/2GHz). That means that they are setting up for a tougher challenge for the 2nd part of the 18 months in which they have to double performance. Intel should be shit worried. I've always had this lurking suspicion (see some of my earlier posts), that the P4 at 1.5GHz is already a bit into its "original" headroom. The P4 was originally targeted to debut at 1.1/1.2 GHz. Let's see any of the Intelbees deny that! TG >>The P4 1.4 and 1.5 must be cooled to 70 and 72 C to stay within spec. Voltage is already at 1.7
