Re: "This explains how they keep power consumption, temperature, and most importantly- performance down on P4. They have a double speed ALU, which runs at half speed to keep from overheating. This processor is even dumber than I thought it was" Ahh Scumbria, will your hatred never end and your distortions never stop? First that lunicy about lower tjC being an overclocking problem and now this nonsense. The feature you are referring to is an option to allow for low cost thermal solutions which is not a requirement. If the designers design for maximum conditions, the clock modulation never happens. The P4 maximum power is 54.7 watts, still well below the Athlon's red hot 66 watts. So what you bash Intel for is really a cost saving feature available to the system designer, should he chose to take advantage of it. The Athlon is hotter while running much slower and has no such cost saving feature. EP
