Paul, Intel reported exactly what they had - just as you said - a 1.5 GHz CPU with some internals running at 3 GHz. Confusion? Maybe. Confusion by people - SCUMBRIA NOTABLY - who REFUSED to accept that it was technologically possible. I've got an idea. Maybe we should time every piece of logic in the chip separately and say that each one is operating in it's own clock domain. We could say that there are 10,000 clock domains ranging from 750 MHz up to 10 GHz. Scumbria

Re: Buckle up, AlibiDan - AMD is going for a Roller Coater ride as they try to keep up with Intel... Pinhead Paul, Let's see, where have I heard that before.... Oh yeah, you've been making the same claim for the last 4 months: Message 11740922 If Intel has shipped hundreds of thousands of Coppermines already, that means that Intel shipped, in just a FEW WEEKS, as many Coppermines as AMD shipped Athlons for the entire 13 week Q3 !!! That means that Intel's Coppermine shipping rate is already about 6X that of AMD's Athlon. And if AMD can ship 800,000 Athlons in Q4, well Intel may approach 6X that amount ! Paul You can only cry wolf so many times - after a while, people stop taking you seriously. HP started adding high end Athlon PCs to their line this week. Somehow I doubt they'd be doing that if Intel had a boom to lower in anything but your dreams. Alibi Dan
