Maxwell,

I guessed Intel already picked all their low hanging fruits 6 months ago. It will be difficult for them to get higher speed without another major shrink and changes in the process flow.

This is probably true, but the 450-500 Mhz Katmai launch is only about 90 days away. Intel's .18u process is not far off either.

Your questions are absurd. Would you like AMD not pick the low hanging fruits and still producing 350MHz?

AMD should make the fastest parts they can. I am questioning their ability to hit 450 MHz in the next few months. I have no inside information about this. For all I know, 450 MHz may be a piece of cake.
