this was true a number of years ago. now both intel and amd chips have multiple clock domains on chip. after all, a core going "turbo" doesn't somehow overclock the memory interface. > Higher frequency means more bandwidth simply with the given memory > channels available. higher frequency memory controller * channels * width = bandwidth, yes. that's just definitional and everyone already knows it. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
