My guess is the initial Prescott clocked very slowly, I remember the very first "leaked" reviews of prescott that showed the very high power consumption. They were "A" step devices and operated at 2.8 Ghz. I think the issues with prescott revolve more with all the crap (I mean stuff) that Intel threw into the design and is not bringing any value to the customer yet. I also think there are still some slow paths and probably some circuit issues as well that are contributing to the problem. Over time, these will all be fixed. --Alan
