Ted, why do you think the mainstream needs 2.0 GHz? Or 2000 QuantiHertz for that matter? It's all a marketing game. Watch as Apple takes market share away from PCs as they focus on the one problem that GHz (or QuantiSpeed) cannot solve: poor user-friendliness.

Ten, that's not what you said earlier.........that 2 G is not all that faster than 1 G. By your answer, I take it that 2 G is considerably faster but you don't think the need is there for that much power......and I would tend to agree.

It'll be a similar "user-friendliness" that AMD needs to overcome as they push into servers. Only in this area, "user-friendliness" is RAS, a.k.a. reliability, availability, and serviceability.

I don't understand how a chip can be "user friendly"?
