Mani - <Great call on the Willamete MHz variation between FPU and Integer. You were ridiculed by Tench, PB and Elmer.>

That was calculated, because he was inferring 1/2 speed, instead of 2X speed, which is what I'd heard for the integer unit.

Thanks, Mani.

Even one of the AMD longs thought that I was embarrassing myself insisting on that.

Weren't Tench and Paul questioning half-speed stuff this morning?

Mani, <Great call on the Willamete MHz variation between FPU and Integer. You were ridiculed by Tench, PB and Elmer.>

I remember Kap predicting that the FPU would not run faster than 700 MHz.

In actuality, the FPU does indeed run at the base clock frequency, 1.5 GHz. I think Kap was off by about 800 MHz. And you think this is a great call?
