RE:"Well actually intel is simply saying the chip runs at 1.5Ghz. And the integer unit runs effectively at 2x." Are you absolutely positive this is what Intel said? Jim

kash - <Well actually intel is simply saying the chip runs at 1.5Ghz. And the integer unit runs effectively at 2x. I don't consider that slimy. If they had claimed 3Ghz as Mhz of the chip then that would have been slimy. I am sure they were SORELY tempted though!!!> Thank you for pointing this out, i.e., what was REALLY claimed. BTW, I have only heard rumors as to what functional blocks run at what speed. I have only heard of respective units running "faster" than the base speed. I haven't heard anything about functional blocks running slower than the base clock frequency, in this case, 1.5. That said, I am sorely lacking in detail, as it appears the rest of the World + dog is also. I submit when speculating on this stuff we are all in a way out wild world. I am hoping Anand will be able to sleuth out some more details before the end of the show, and subsequently get's us out of the speculative realm. PB
