but how many of those are doing it at the stock Vcore while staying within the 65 watt TDP?
You're assuming that Intel absolutely has to stay within those parameters. Expect them to step outside them the moment competitive advantage requires it. And they only have to do it with a few EE chips to claim the crown again.
All Intel has to do is turn up the clock the day before Barcelona ships. We already know that the Core 2 Duo chips are very overclockable, and getting another 40% -- or even 50%+ out of them -- shouldn't be a problem.
In fact I'll go further and say that buying any Intel (in my opinion, you fsking lawyers) before Barcelona launches is a Bad Move. It's seldom that performance increases by 50% in a calender year any more, as Mr. Steve Jobs found out a couple years back. This is not like the days when a 486 went from 33MHz to 66MHz in essentially one leap. As such, and you know this is coming, it is definitely worth delaying any purchase until after the Barcelona launch and see what the landscape looks like then. As much as I'm rooting for AMD, I'm surprised that C2D isn't already clocked closer to it's potential.
I feel like it's the old days with Intel right now where: We'll give you the clock speeds we've decided are best for you when we get around to it, and not before.
They just keep on hoping. We haven't found any sign of it anywhere yet (secondary evidence like erosion channels means little unless you actually see them being created), so let's say it must (might) be here where we can't look at all yet. Impossible to prove a negative.
Well Canada is only one country out of >135, and not even that big in terms of population. If half your problem is Canada alone, you should be rejoicing in the streets!
Public access equals government censorship.
Freedom equals slavery.
Every "illegal" download euqals a lost sale.
Looks like another legacy industry lying to protect their outmoded business model. After all, if they're selling something of real value (e.g. peer reviewed articles) to the consumer then they have nothing to fear. However, if they've only controlled the flow to this information due to a high barrier of entry in the past that technology has mostly erased now, then let them go down -- and the faster, the better!
Actually, I think this says more about who gets ripped-off the worst around the world because of the artificial bans against greymarket goods in a world economy.
Isn't this a bit of a reach? They weren't actually involved in any gaming. Isn't there someone willing to slap the US Government down Hard over this one?
Registration is one step from Regulation. And both Registration requirements, and penalties for not Registering properly, stifle free speech.
In addition, AND HERE'S THE BIG ONE, Registration prevents anonymous speech since the speaker has to prove he/she's registered, which proves their identity and makes them available for SLAAP lawsuits that a well-funded adversary can use even when they know they'll lose in the end.
Hey, Apple! Your product was already defective. The 802.11n wasn't working correctly. So you supplied a bug fix to deal with the problem. What's so hard about that?
Back in the days when a KiloByte was considered a lot of memory, IBM, CDC, and other manufacturers used to ship mainframes with memory, virtual memory hardware, and sometimes higher speed clock options, installed, but disabled. Contract to the higher lease rates and the technician would appear with a wire-wrap gun and "move a wire" to "install" (nee enable) the additional capabilities. Those were days when the profit margins made it worthwhile to sell, but prevent use of, features until they were paid for. So how is Apple different than just doing business the usual way of the last.5 century?

And just in time, too.
Isn't XXX what is on all those jugs of moonshine in old cartoons?

You know, there's still lots of empty space in my PC case. Memory chips that are "too big" have yet to be pushing themselves out the air vents.

Took them long enough. Their liberal founders must have finally decided that the political advantage of this tactic had finally run out.
And just how big is the download market for movies dubbed in Chinese again?

If you download a movie you never would have paid to rent or buy, does it make a sound?

So after we prove that the Universe is nothing more than God's big ball of string, then what?
Why is this on Slashdot at all, except for someone's left political ranting, and a Slashdot admin willing to promote it?

Only 2GHz more and the P4 will reach the 10GHz once predicted for it.
iPods, here we come.

Are we on the same page now?
That's okay. You lost that mod the moment you posted to this topic anyway.
Remember this the next time you step into the voting booth!
I see problems every time after this that I try to walk out of the supermarket through the anti-shoplifting detectors.
That must take some mighty swimming prowess for something so small. Like me swimming up against Niagara Falls.

Give me a break. Who among the Slashdot readers besides the .01% group you obviously belong to finds anything common knowledge about Sarbanes-Oxley?
