Steve,

But then again they had better be able to with the
K7. It's bulit for Mhz (I think Dirk made a very similar comment at the
conference).


Everything is a tradeoff, still. If you go too far with the cycle time thing, i.e., building for Megahertz to the extreme, you can end up using a lot more logic, hence transistors, hence real estate. I'm sure Dirk got it balanced just right though, right?
