It isn’t besides the point, it is like saying a car can do 250mph, but can only do it for 1 second before the tires explode. A CPU that can hit 6ghz while pull

  Look at the original comment again, they address this very point. They forgot to say for how many microseconds can the chip sustain this speed. This is exactly what you are saying, they are asking how long can it run at 6 GHz before they have to throttle. Then they continue with the sentence I originally responded to. And 400 A ? Per nanosecond or what ? I see mainly two possibilities. The first one is that they made a typo and what they actually wanted to write is »And 400 A? For one nanosecond or what?« which would essentially be repeating the exact same question as in the sentence before, just in terms of current instead of clock frequency. But this is not what they wrote, they wrote »And 400 A? Per nanosecond or what?« which leads to the second possibility and the one I consider more likely. They were confused about the unit, the equivalent of responding to »The average US citizen consumes 10 kW of power.« with the question »Per day? Per month? Per year? In its lifetime?« which obviously makes no sense. That would be an appropriate response to the statement »The average US citizen consumes 89 MWh of energy.« Without the author telling us, we will never know for sure, but I find it more likely that they were confused about the unit than that they repeated the exact same questions twice and made a typo in the second one that just makes it look like they were confused about the unit.
