I dunno if this should go in the CPU or VPU forum, but here goes:
With the release of the X800, various sites have been saying that the approximate frequency "limit" for a 130nm process is about 600mhz (thus the x800s supposedly can't OC as high as the 6800s). However, this obviously can't be inherent to the 130nm process since 130nm CPUs go over 3ghz. So what am I not getting? Thanks guys.
"I've got a great new idea for a value product-line! We charge the customer the same price, and we give them a slower product!"
"How is that a value?"
"Oh, it's a value for us, of course."
