albert just wondering about that TeraHertz transistor - is that an actual frequency or Intel is trying to mislead the public just so that you know, individual transistors need to switch much faster than the frequency being implemented on the chip. even on a hyperpipelined cpu like the Pentium 4, there are still more than a few transistors per pipeline stage that need to propagate data on one edge of the cpu clock.

Albert, just wondering about that TeraHertz transistor - is that an actual frequency or Intel is trying to mislead the public If you're asking if TeraHertz is a unit of frequency, yes it is. It will strike terror in the heart of AMD. ;-) A TeraHertz is equal to 1,000 GigaHertz. Next after TeraHertz is PetaHertz, which is 1,000 TeraHertz. Tony
