Bill, Re: Why would Intel select a ratio like 1.130 GHZ instead of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc?

Easy: They can still hold the "performance leadership" when AMD releases its 1.1 GHZ Thunderbird. (what a joke)

The P3 runs at 1,133 MHz. It's just the system bus speed * 8.5. Check page 11:

Bill, the coppermine is running at 133.333fsb speed with a 8.5 multipler lock. 8.5*133.33333=1133. The athlon runs with a 100 mhz double pumped so it's really 200 mhz, so it has nicer numbers like 200x5=1000 mhz.

EDIT: didn't see all those other responses, me slow
