Re: Biased and a little bit clueless
The physics of gates is irrelevant if you don't change the clock speed to utilise faster gates.
And someone modded you up on a tech site. Jesus H.
Not by definition nor even universally in practice. Plenty of architectures have used 'early out' instructions that essentially stall the processor until the result is known: for example multiply on the 386 - how long it took was a complex formula depending on the exact values being multiplied.
A faster logic could potentially shave a few cycles of such variable-duration instructions.
