Tim,

The fact that Trace Cache runs at half speed has been documented. I don't have the link handy. It was something about delivering some number of uops every other clock cycle. Your link is a review by someone, who does not have any better clue than you and I.

Your second link about P4 decoding 1 instruction each clock cycle, I don't think anybody disagrees. But the point is, that the clock runs at half of the marketing speed.

It's like saying that P4 bus delivers data 4 times per clock cycle. But the clock runs at 100 MHz.

Joe
