Elmer, I spoke with someone at Intel about a year ago about a new circuit design that would be extremely highspeed and was intended to be used first in Willamette. It was secret and he would not reveal any details except to say it was revolutionary. It is possible that this is what is at work here. Unless they have dealt with the problem of clock skew, 3 GHz control is impossible. IBM made some comments about localized clock buffering to get to 4 GHz last week, but said that it was still several years off . Scumbria

EP, get real....you were the one who vehemently denied the existence of the Athlon even when it was being advertised and you want us to believe in a new circuit design sprinkled with Intel magic dust is making the 3 G claim valid. If the tables were reversed, you would be the last to believe. Even you have to agree that is very lame. ted
