Does Cray only make computers with GaAs processors? >However I still think that the gains are from raising the core cpu voltage >more than from trying to lower the core cpu temperature... Like I said, I don't know what they're doing. Maybe they do raise the voltage a lot. My only (and original) point is this: it's not inconcievable that the Athlon is extremely stable at 1GHz. Increasing Vcc will lower the switching times. So will lowering the temperature. As long as the switching times can be lowered enough, the chip will be stable. That's it. As long as you can accept these simple facts, I don't see why we're arguing. -Tom
