Why can't AMD make 3.8GHz processors?

PS: Here is a link to IBM's 3 Ghz news: http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?NewsID=353&date=02-15-2006#353

Why can't AMD make 3.8GHz processors?

A Power5 is no G5. The G5 is available as 970MP (Dual Core) and 970 GX (low power) from IBM NOW with Speeds up to 3 Ghz. And they are both in 90 nm. So if you say Intel make what they promised nearly, you can say IBM did completely what they promised. The thing is: The FIRST 90 nm PPC 970...

Oh no, you are a little dis-informed. They told Apple, they will have 3 Ghz G5s by 2004, but they have it now. But they have not simply 3 Ghz, they have DualCore 3 Ghz, so a 3 Ghz Quad would be possible at the moment, the only question is: Does Apple still want this? It would be hard to be...

Why can't AMD make 3.8GHz processors?

That's what I thought of. For the moment a Cell Co-processor could do it. But I think a cell-ish onchip SIMD-Unit, consisting of i.e. 8 SPEs (or is it called APUs?) Or simply replace the Cell Main-Core, with a more powerful CPU, like a G5 (would be the easiest way, I think) or an AMD 64 X2...

PS: I don't mind, if SIMD-Units can't boost Office, Internet or Mail. They all run fast enough! What Cell really boosts is Audio, Video, 3D - the things, where performance is really needed!

I think, the real way to boost performance in the future will be SIMD-Units. Take the Cell for example. It reaches 200 GFlop, where a P4 with 3,2 Ghz makes 25,6 GFlops. That's just for Matrix Multiplication, in Linpack it reaches 156 Gflops, where the P4 is at 25,6 too. At...
