"Cut the BS, Ten, don't be ridiculous. Which frequency are you talking about: developer.intel.com "Different parts of the Pentium 4 processor run at different clock frequencies. Computers have had different clocks on them for different parts of the machine for decades. A microprocessor is a computer. The P4 is a microprocessor and has different frequency clocks on it. This is normal. Are you going to tell me that AMD chips have just one clock for all the logic on chip? I don't think so.

Ali, <Cut the BS, Ten, don't be ridiculous. Which frequency are you talking about> You're listening too much to the nonsense coming from KapKan. Most of the CPU runs at the advertised frequency. From the quote you posted: Most other parts of the chip run at half of the 3GHz fast clock since this makes these parts much easier to design. The "3GHz fast clock" is obviously talking about the 2x ALU, so such a chip would be advertised at 1.5 GHz. This statement clearly shows that most of the chip actually runs at the main clock.
