"Everyone's been moaning over alleged "leakage" issues with Intel's 0.13 micron process, yet the P3 is now running at 1.4GHz." Where? I see 1.33GHz, 12A leakage, plus 11A of dynamic current, with Tcase below 69C. ftp://download.intel.com/design/PentiumIII/datashts/24976502.pdf [edit: I found the Tulatin at 1.4] "Taking that old core to that high frequency indicates an exceptionally healthy manufacturing process." So, when the static useless current is higher than switching power, it is extremely healthy, right? And why the heck "old core" or non-old core does matter? You should compare 1.33G/copper/0.13um with 1.13G/aluminum/0.18. "Semi's posted documented overclocks in the 3.0GHz range for Northwoods, indicating remarkable process heath and headroom" Conclusions based on a statistical sample of two cherry-picked units could be very premature. There are also reports about Athlon XP running at 2.2GHz with air cooling. So what? - Ali
