The processor consists of different clock domains, meaning that the entire chip does not operate the same clock speed.

The higher frequencies and subsequent short wavelengths at which the chip operates make the multiple-antenna approach possible.

At room temperature, the chips operate at 350 gigahertz, far faster than other chips in commercial use today.

The new chip operates at 100 megahertz compared with the top speed of 33 megahertz for the 80486.

Clock-doubling chips operate internally at twice their nominal speed, yielding higher performance.

In fact, all chips operate at the scanner's frequency.

The chip, known as the 29000, will normally operate at 17 million instructions a second, several times faster than the chips that now dominate the market.

A designation of 486-33 means the chip operates at a speed of 33 megahertz (millions of cycles a second).

Most chips today operate with a cycle rate of 50 to 70 nanoseconds.

A chip rated at 25 megahertz, for example, will operate internally at 50MHz.
