I was wondering, If Intel can make (single-core) 3.8GHz Prescott processors using a 90nm process, why do AMD processors top out at 2.8GHz (FX-57) if they're 90nm too? Everyone knows that Prescotts run way hotter than AMD 64's have ever thought about running so heat shouldn't be a problem. I also know that an FX57 will outrun a 3.8GHz Prescott in most applications but still, why can't they make them any faster?
Maybe it's a stupid question and you'd have to know more about their architecture to understand it, but it doesn't make sense to me.
