GW - Re: "Amazing INTEL started with 8mhz, then 16mhz, 33, 66, 100, 200s, soon 400, next 800"

You are overestimating Intel.

Intel introduced the 4004 (first microprocessor) at 740 KiloHertz (eight clock cycles per CPU cycle of 10.8 microseconds) in 1971.

The 8080 was introduced at 1 or 2 MHz in 1974,

When IBM started the PC thing, they used an 8088 running at a blazing 4.88 MHz, in 1981.
