Perhaps this is some of the source of the IDF confusion on clock cycles; could the reference to 3gxx been to bandwidth instead?: firingsquad.com System Bus The final important feature is the system bus. During the keynote it was announced that the bus operated at 400MHz with a peak bandwidth of 3.2GB/sec. The exact details of the bus weren't announced but Hinton's multiple references to a "quad pumped bus" lead me to speculate that Willamette's bus operates at 100x4. This essentially means that the Willamette bus operates at the equivalent of 400MHz with four bits of data being passed each clock cycle along a 100MHz bus. -Scot
