Tench - RE: "Cirrus, some of the Willamette managers had to convince the marketing guys NOT to use the 3.0 GHz number in reporting the frequency. I think if Intel brought too much light to that feature, it would cause a lot of confusion in the marketplace. After all, 1.5 GHz is big enough."

Interesting...

Do you know why the innards weren't described today? Or is that scheduled for tomorrow?

Tench,

Most Integer operations take one cycle. The FPU instructions take 3 cycles. I see more sense in running FPU rather than the integer unit at 2X clock rate.

So does the FPU run at 2x clock rate ? Or do both the integer and floating point units run at 2x clock speed.
