Ease:
Below is some info I retained in my PC awhile ago from coincidentally Leopard...Maybe this might be useful to you...I don't have the context...Maybe your posting history will help..Virt

What you have just outlined is "EXACTLY".what was happening prior to this invention.
That is to say there was 'ONE' oscillator which controlled the timing of ALL functions of the computer,which included the I/O interface and the processing of the data. That single oscillator method limited the computer speed to the I/O capability..
What this invention did was to separate the I/O capability from the computational functions, by introducing a separate oscillator to control the processing of the data,independant from the I/O function. The problem that was solved by this invention was unique and was attempted by many others,without success..
This novel concept required another unique capability,,ie:, "Multi fetch,to increase the input speed, to the' Faster' CPU.. The I/O function was controlled by a separate oscillator of fixed frequency on a separate chip.. This is as simple as I can state it...A more detailed explanation can be obtained by reading the patent specifications..

What are the most important technologies in the portfolio? How are they integral to the products that major electronics firms are manufacturing?
The 20 000-foot view is that these technologies produce higher performance, lower cost, and lower power consumption microprocessors, so they solve problems that everyone wants to solve. The U.S. 5809336 patent, for instance, is an on-chip CPU clock and an independent input/output clock, which allows the CPU to be as great as it can be without being shackled by low input/output speed limits. The U.S. 5784584 patent allows chips to fetch multiple instructions in a single clock cycle, which reduces power consumption and processing time. Technologies like these have become the basis of the way microprocessors are designed today. Virtually every device that contains a microprocessor uses these technologies—from the mouse that is sitting a foot away from you, to the computer that’s telling me I have e-mail, to the ventilation system that’s pushing in the air I breathe.
