Let's assume there are perhaps 25 million devices in L2 cache and perhaps 40 million in logic and L1 cache

If this is accurate, Intel is lying by saying that their Model Number Northwood 2200 runs at 2.2 GHz. If there are just 8 million transistors in the decoder and trace cache (and, I suspect, the FPU), the MAJORITY of transistors in the NW run at half speed.

How can Intel call this part 2.2 GHz?
