Elmer - Re: "Maybe they heard of 3.5-4gig air cooled Northwoods already being tested and it's making them nervous. Let's not do a "Dan". Intel isn't close to this yet." Sorry about that. Wouldn't want to pull a Dan. Just thought that since Intel showed a demo of a 3.5 gig P4 to the public, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that someone is testing them and cranking them up an additional 14% in some Intel fab. I'd want to give a few Northwood P4's the ole smoke test, just to see what they could do. Back in August at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) Intel demonstrated a 3.5 gigahertz P4 on the new .13 micron process. A link to it follows this little excerpt from the article. PAUL OTELLINI: So this is a bit of an abstract, and I asked our demo team to construct a demo for you that would consume every MIP of the fastest processor that Intel could build. And to do that, I asked them to stretch a bit, to go to two and a half gigahertz, give us 500 more megahertz than the fastest processors that we're shipping today. And to see how we're doing, let me bring out Victoria and Greg. And first of all, how fast is the machine? VICTORIA: Well, Paul, what I'm going to show you today is the version of our Northwood 0.13-micron technology, and this is the first version of the processor anywhere outside the fab. So why don't we put up to the big screens the output here, and we're running at 3.5 GHz. So we've not only met, but exceeded your expectations and have delivered 3.5 GHz.
