[Netburst] tried to compensate with high clock frequency, , but that didn't always work. In part because they grossly misjudged what speeds they could achieve.

[Netburst] tried to compensate with high clock frequency, , but that didn't always work. In part because they grossly misjudged what speeds they could achieve. It was sold on the premise it could be driven to 10 GHz (maybe 5 GHz in some accounts; it was viewed as a "mar(keting)architecture that could boast high raw speeds), but they had extreme difficultly achieving 3.8 GHz, and as I recall the systems of the day weren't really geared to dissipating the heat produced.
