>re: "they've used a special cooling systems to enable the processor to run faster (700MHz) than it ever would under real-world conditions - just to impress the press"

==>That's pure Bullshit

They have used cooling to show where we will be for production parts within an intermediate time frame.

A chip equivalent to the chip that they showed last year with a active cooling will be shipping as a production part without special cooling by the end of this year. A chip equivalent to the chip that they showed at CeBit with special cooling will almost certainly ship as a production part not requiring special cooling in 1999 or 2000.

There is nothing wrong with this, the fact that cooling is being used for this technology demonstration is not a secret, but the technology has to advance just a bit further before this will be possible in production parts without cooling.

Do you want to know where we are going, or would you rather remain in the dark ?
