Tony, <the exotic measures they go to are not warranted for a 6% performance improvement.> The improvement on those codes is exactly the same as any improvement what would be gained on any processor going from 800MHz to 1000MHz. Floppermine included. Therefore I guess the notched gates, jacked up voltage, miserable yields from four multi-billion Fabs can be called "the exotic measures" as well. Probably much more exotic than the Kryotech cooler. All just to get into 1GHz. BTW, modern household fridges usually work 10-15+ years without a glitch. The Kryotech unit is just an ordinary small-unit fridge. Off the GE shelf, nothing more. <if you have the experience, which I have.> Do you?
