We all appreciate that you thought Intel would never clone AMD64 and that Itanium would've taken over the world by now.

Chipguy,

"You have to appreciate that sgolds thinks that
individual FETs are somehow aware of pipeline
organization and MPU clock frequency and can
dramatically change their operational device
characteristics accordingly."

Individual FETs are aware of excessive operating temperature that may be caused by circuit organization and operating frequency. Intel's own specs show that leakage runs away on them at high temp (frequency induced).
