i read this weekend the january issue of wired.
i feel you must readthe essay by
Steve G. Steinberg "Schumpeter's Lesson" What
really happened in digital technology in the past five years.


as you read, bear in mind this excerpt from the winchip site:

<<• Memory performance is the limiting CPI performance factor.
Due to the high ratio of internal clock speed versus the relatively limited PC processor-bus speed, off-chip memory-access performance is the primary factor in processor CPI performance (as opposed to internal instruction execution performance). The IDT WinChip C6 processor addresses this phenomenon by providing very large on-chip caches that run at the high internal processor clock frequency. In addition, sophisticated TLB and cache management algorithms are included to further reduce bus activity. >>

beyond that, read the gilder article, if not the whole issue....
