You say that the combination of going from 5 to 7 pipeline stages, as well as going to SOI, allowed the G4 to go from 450MHz to 800MHz, right? That's a 78% increase. Intel was able to get 2x increase by moving from 10 pipeline stages in the Pentium III (with a maximum frequency of 1GHz) to 20 pipeline stages in the Pentium 4 (with a maximum of 2GHz), and using the exact same process. Of course, you would have made your point without exaggerating, but I guess old habits die hard, right? 1 - Intel didn't get 2x the increase. 2x 78% is 156%. 1ghz PIII to 2ghz P4 is 100%. 2 - 5 stages to 7 is an increase of 40% in pipeline length. PIII to P4 is atleast 100% maybe more depending on how you measure it. Tim
