<Now, the decode logic has its own pipeline that is running independently of the main pipeline. You may be right about the clock being slower, but the fact is that Intel has never specified. You can have your own guess as to how fast it really is, but arguing over it, like I said, is irrelevant.>

Now that you asked around and found out the truth, you say its irrelevant. Before you said that I was spreading FUD.

Ofcource the trace cache helps to minimize the impact of the half clocked decode. That was the whole idea behind the TC - keep the decode logic largely unchanged from the good old P6, but make the rest of the Willy downstream run twice as fast.
