<div>Thanks for that.</div>
<div>"the processor frequency will dynamically increase by 133 MHz on short and regular intervals until the upper limit is met"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now where can we find those upper limits...</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>BTW, re the discussion on processor frequency scaling,</div>
<div>what finally did happen to Emitter Coupled Logic and gallium arsenide?</div>
<div>As a cub high energy physicist, I devoted many hours to learning about ECL and Fastbus - it was (still is) the fastest switching technology, therefore the Fastbus standard was based around it. Ditched now I think for VMEbus systems.</div>
<div>Sigh. Those big old crates were a reaql sight.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wonder out loud if any exotic semiconductor plus ECL will be revived in the future.</div>
