Bob,

If you don't have "the intimate details of the design", why say it should be close to 3GHz right now?

An evenly balanced 28 stage pipeline in Intel's technology should run close to 3GHz.

Without knowing the intimate details of the pipeline, I can not determine exactly what is wrong with the design, or how much headroom they actually have.

The 2-cycle cache and double speed ALU are the likely culprits.
