PB, Re: Because he said NOTHING about functional blocks being DOUBLE the base frequency He was predicting functional blocks, specifically the FPU, at HALF the base frequency, WHICH IS TOTALLY WRONG! But if Intel called it a 3G one, he was right :-) Gary

PB RE...<<<Because he said NOTHING about functional blocks being DOUBLE the base frequency He was predicting functional blocks, specifically the FPU, at HALF the base frequency, WHICH IS TOTALLY WRONG! I'm not going to apologize to him for coming on with inaccurate, ill-gotten tidbits, that had the slightest similarity ot the mechanisim, BUT 180 DEGREES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.>>>>>>> Good answer PB, slick willy would be proud of you. Kap was predicting that certain parts of the core were clocked at different speeds and you replied that the mhz speed was the clock speed, period. There was no other speed involved in the core of the Willy. And now your excuse is that he had predicted the fpu was half the base frequency of the integer unit, instead of the integer unit is twice the speed of the fpu which is the base mhz.. So you allowed me (sorry Kap)and others to think Kap was going bonkers over semantics. You must feel proud of yourself.
