"CPU, could be on different clocks, to get the most work out of them. So what the f___ is your problem?" I have no problem at all, you have. I just merely pointed out that basic gates are up to 150-200GHz. Even with the old Pentium-Pro rule of no more than 8 gate levels between pipeline stages, all CPUs must run up to 15-20GHz today. They do not. There is one little "thingy" called "interconnect" that slows things down, significantly. That's why all those cool demos of small self-contained blocks are mostly marketing smoke, and you took the bait. - Ali
