Let's look at the quote again.
> top speed is actually the function of the heat generated
emphasis mine.
> Even that equation you gave says that if you increase P you will be able to increase f, though the interplay between f and V means that your increases are sub-linear.
I don't get your point. Did I write that performance and power is not related?
- jerf 12y agoI feel this is one of those rare cases where some feedback about the downvote I just gave is called for. I've downvoted you because someone has asked you to apply the principle of charity to someone's post, and you've chosen to dig in instead. Even if you want to continue this otherwise-interesting discussion, please don't do it this way.
- m_mueller 12y agoThanks for the explanation. I didn't read GPs post as a call for charity on OP. Looking at this phrase.. > I don't think that anybody could reasonably read top speed being a function of heat as top speed only being a function of heat .. I still don't see it this way. My post wasn't meant to be an attack on OP, rather I wanted to expand some points about chip performance that seemed to me weren't clear. The post I'm quoting however did read uncharitable to me.
- Symmetry 12y agoAgain, I don't understand how you got your reading. If something is the function of something else that means that the function is singular, not that the function only takes a singular argument. Obviously there are more things that are a function of heat than just clock speed so the op was wrong in that sense. That's the sort of mistake I make in revision all the time so I overlooked it. But even taking it literally it doesn't actually hurt the point the op was trying to make.
