SCUMbria - Re: "If there is anything running at 3 GHz on Willamette, it must be a very tiny circuit. 0.18u transistors are not fast enough to run any meaningful amount of logic at 3.0 GHz.
I was partially incorrect with this remark. An ALU is a small circuit (in terms of logic levels), not a tiny circuit."

Go back to your swimming pool.

Were you also partially incorrect when you said this or are you still in denial?

"That is incredibly slimy of them to try to create the impression of an air cooled 0.18u part running at 1.5 Ghz"
