Bipolar transistors are inherently faster than CMOS transistors,
partly because CMOS transistors must swing from their highest voltage to their lowest voltage to change states. Bipolar transistors swing between intermediate voltages. However, bipolar runs very hot. Exponential's chip may dissipate 40 to 60 W, compared to about 20 W for a 400-MHz Alpha 21164.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
