Elmer,

The PIII demoed today was a careful exercise not to use at least 30% of the transistors on the chip, which would not run at 1GHz. Like the 1.2GHz PowerPC demo last year, they obviously did not use the floating point unit.

PIII runs at 500 MHz.

Re: "AMD has never publicly demonstrated any processor of any kind running at half that speed."

I think you've been infected by Clinton-speak.
