the 3 GHz demo makes me believe the rather the opposite is true. Not me. If AMD wanted to do a demo of a pair of cherry-picked 90nm DC Opterons in an MCM using the same cooler, what clock speed do you think they could achieve? Higher than 3Ghz. Maybe a whole lot higher. So the new design on the new process weeks before shipping cannot match the clock speed of the old design on the old process. Hmmmm. Why is it that Intel seems to be able to get Penryn to run at higher clocks than the fastest shipping Woodcrest at intro? Because they're not screwing up. AMD is. If David is going to fight Goliath, he better not screw up. If he does, he's toast. Have you seen 3Ghz Barcelona on any roadmap? Until you do, it is just a demonstration (a real one, but a demonstration is very different from a part near shipping).
