Re: [microblaze-uclinux] OT?, Performance

[Matthew Rubenstein <email@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Overclocking doesn't destabilize individual chips - it either works at
the higher rate, or doesn't, depending on the quality of the individual
unit. The advertised clockrate of the chip is the minimum supported by
the manufactured batch, determined by quality control, which individual
chips can exceed. Overclocking does reduce the lifetime of the chip, as
it runs hotter, even if surface cooled. But with these experimental
rigs, their interesting lifetime is probably shorter than their reduced
operational lifetime - you'll upgrade before burnout.
