Constantine, Re: "are you saying that the Pally uses smaller features than the TBird did ? The main reason the Pally is clocking so much higher than the TBird is because it generates less heat. I think the Athlon can clock significantly higher as long as heat generation is not an issue." I don't think you are correct. I think Palomino had a significant reduction in transistor gate size, from an already shrunken transistor gate on Thunderbird. The heat issue may be a limiting factor, too, but it is not a big one at this point. If it were, then AMD would be setting themselves in for a large problem at the .13u generation. With a much smaller die size of 80mm^2, Thoroughbred is going to have far more watts of dissipation per square mm than Palomino or Thunderbird, and that's the measurement that really means something when it comes to heat limiting the frequency of a processor. wbmw
