re: so THz is actual frequency then?
you really ought to look this up before making such ignorant comments. THz (or Terahertz) is a real frequency, and it equals 1,000GHz. However, Intel's Terahertz transistor will be the switching speed of the transistor itself, not of the CPU that employs them. Eventually, CPUs using terahertz transistors can get up to the 10-20GHz range, and that's in this decade. Later improvements may improve the speed further.

Albert, <so THz is actual frequency then?>

It would be absolutely hilarious if Intel started advertising the switching speed of a single transistor instead of the switching speed of the processor clock.

After all, it's all just a numbers game. AMD is trying to play this game with "QuantiSpeed," just like the DDR advocates did when they called their memory "PC2100."
