Anybody who wants to speculate about clock rates ?

Just rememered IBMs 4.25 GHz p7 8core chip with 4xSMT. That is with 45nm

So far I thought 5 GHz for BD is fanboy dreaming, but compared to that monsterous 45nm chip it should be rather reasonable now that a smaller BD die produced in 32nm together with high-k interconnects should be able to achieve that.

What do you think ? Is it ok, to speculate on x86 clocks by comparing it to Power / RISC numbers ?

@informal:
I agree totally ;-)

Thanks
