Do most people even comprehend these terms? Telling people to read their website is a good advice, if the website can put it in laymen terms lol... |
Well i can to a certain extent.. way back in time when clock rates around 8-12MHz were considered ultra-fast (yes people, those were the times..) I had a computer whose manufacturer went bankrupt so we had to design and build the rest of the parts ourselves (including memory cards, harddisk-adapters and a "supergraphics card (thanks to Byte's own Steve Ciarcia) which never saw the light of day..).
At clock speeds in the GHz rate, basic design technology turns into mystery art. And whenever scientists and engineers want to hide the fact that they are entering sort of a twilight zone in engineering, they use fancy expressions to hide this fact. Finding good articles that explain all the troubles and pitfalls in easy to understand terms is a real problem and I don't have any at hand myself...
