RE:"isn't the heat generation negatively affected by high MHz rating?" Joe, Power usage in a CMOS design is a complicated function of many factors. Some of these factors are: 1. Transistor count. 2. Static power dissipation. 3. Effectiveness and completeness of the power management logic. 4. Amount of static vs. dynamic logic. 5. Clock speed. There is a tendency for complicated designs to use circuitry which increases both static and dynamic power utilization. As a rule of thumb, smaller and simpler designs use less power. Examples of this concept are Media GX and C6 vs. M2 and PII. Scumbria
