Re: "It is certainly possible to create a combinational circuit that resolves in 300 ps, but that does not equate to a 3 GHz circuit. We are still a long ways away from 3 GHz processors!" I am not claiming the processor runs at 3GHz nor is Intel. However some circuitry apparently runs at 3 Billion transitions per second and the post from Cebit today did nothing whatsoever to dispel that. It only confirmed that the authors couldn't tell the difference between circuitry that runs only off a leading edge and circuitry that runs off both edges. It is true there is no 3GHz clock but something is still running at 2x the 1.5GHz clock so call it what you want. It doesn't slow it down. This is an issue of terminology and you've played it to discredit what is really going on. EP
