albert re: Intel defines the speed of the chip via frequency no they don't. Intel defines the frequency of the chip by the frequency. re: but frequency of what since we have 3 different frequencies? the frequency that Intel defines is the nominal frequency, which is neither the fast nor slow frequency. My guess is that this frequency controls >85% of the chip, which is why it makes sense to mention this frequency. but like other people have mentioned, in any CPU, you also have bus interface frequencies, JTAG frequencies like Tenchusatsu mentioned, and I'd be willing to guess that there are others as well. despite the large number of clock domains, there is always a predominate frequency in the chip, and that is what Intel lists. re: Amd always specify that their rating is not frequency wrong again. until recently, amd always specified the frequency of their chips. re: but I have never seen disclaimer from intel about decoder speed neither has anybody else outside of Intel, I imagine. re: decoder speed been slower than the quoted number. didn't you just mention that there is no quoted number? Ok, Albert, it's time for you to ease off the pipe and make some sense for a change. Regards -BMW
