dougSF30, Re: But from a publicity and ethical point of view, it might still be considered a fraud.

That would only occur in very few people's mind. Would the feature used in Transmeta or the new mobile Athlon PowerNow which can 'scale back' the CPU speed in various steps also fraud ? These things is impossible to define very precisely in a one page spec. targetting the consumer.

IMO the bottom line for the P4 1.7 case is simply if for most of the tier 1 vendor offerings one can repeatedly demonstrate that under heavy use, the slow down happened in noticeable way, it would be a problem.
