Yousef, "It doesn't matter if you have 3 on-ramps connected to 2 freeways OR 2 on-ramps connected to 3 freeways ... if the same number of cars are flowing each hour !!" Now you seem to start to understand... Now try to make another effort. Let 2 stand for P-II, and 6 stand for K6. We agree that if F2 = F6 = 233, then for each clock ("traffic hour") (1) N2 * G2 = N6 * G6. Since we seem to agree that for the P-II "short tick" design, N2 < N6. Therefore, the delay per a K6 gate, G6, is SMALLER than for G2 in order to maintain the equality (1), or AMD HAS BETTER PROCESS TECHNOLOGY at the gate level. This is exactly opposite to your "make-it-so" persuasion. You are making so-so. Your humble screwdriver, Ali
