Scumbria, <That is a far cry from the integer unit running at 2x the clock speed. It means that few simple integer calculations can run in a 20 stage pipe, instead of a 21 stage pipe. That is a whopping speedup of 5% for a few instructions. I see why the designers argued with marketing. To describe this as a 3 GHz part would be a complete fraud.> Thanks. Looks like you have a pretty solution for the mystery. Makes a lot of sense. Chuck
