And how do they scale to SMP? I think that's getting more and more important
for what we're doing, and it'll probably be the way to get good
price/performance ratios for quite some time... This clock frequency hysteria
doesn't bring performance increase fast enough to rule out SMP, and it means
+power, +heat and -$,$$$.
