George - Re: " I expected more from Tony and Paul, who know better, than to equate process line capability to chip MHz. Its a function of how much logic you want to accomplish in a cycle " You are clearly confused. Process line capability - that is gate length, is a first order determinant of process speed, or MHz. Re: "how much logic you want to accomplish in a cycle" The amount of LOGIC performed in a clock cycle is dependent entirely upon circuit design and logic architecture. A simple transistor will toggle at a frequency dependent upon gate length as well as many other process parameters but will accomplish essentially NO LOGIC FUNCTION by itself. LOGIC Per CYCLE and CYCLES per Second (MHz) are two SEPARATE but interelated issues - poor logic design/circuit design will slow down CYCLES per second. Paul
