Intel Corporation Chairman Andrew S. Grove today kicked off the semi-annual Intel Developer Forum by demonstrating the company's fastest microprocessor: a chip running at 1.5 gigahertz (GHz), or 1.5 billion clock cycles per second, at room temperature. Based on a new microarchitecture from Intel, the chip is code-named "Willamette." --- PB, Ten, and others: <american beauty> YOU RULE! </american beauty> Seriously, congrats. - Eric

greg, >A new, hyper pipelined design. The deeper pipeline enables instructions inside the processor to be queued and executed at a much faster rate, allowing processors to achieve the world's highest clock speeds for desktop PCs. Maybe they hired Scumbria to consult for this one. "We don't do much per stage, but we make up for it in quantity" (of stages). I'm a believer, always was actually. I wonder if Intel allowed an extra clock cycle for the L1 cache access? Intel Demo's 1.5 GHz Willamette Cooling?? Tony Edit, cooling? I missed it when scanning. Now I see it's ROOM! AMBIENT! AIR! The right answer!
