Aaron, Re: "In reading your comments it seems that you simply take Intel and AMD's highest yielded speeds and compare them ... If, in fact, AMD has to jack up the voltage to inadvisable levels to achieve their speed, shouldn't that be taken into account as well?" You're right, Aaron ... I have just compared the available (eg. ChipMerchant) CPU speeds from each company without normalizing to process margin or operating voltage. If you operated AMD's K-2/3 at 1.8V, the performance would suffer by much more than 20% ... The FET drive current degrades more like the square of the voltage reduction (thus it would be closer to 40% reduction). Make It So, Yousef
