Fyo, <a 133MHz FSB and Rambus DRDRAM could well...SPECfp...> If we want to be in a "dream" mode", how about a 266MHz-SlotA with 2MB cache and 133MHz DDR DRAM (266 MHZ data rate) on the memory side? <the benefit of SSE> I believe there will be no much benefits of SSE (nor 3Dnow) in foreseeable future for SPEC benchmarks. The reason is that the data/instruction flow for efficient SSE application must be hand-crafted. The FORTRAN libraries used in SPEC were polished over years of verification in scientific communities, and they are not going to change overnight. Although there could be some partial effect when using prefetching instructions that are relatively easy to incorporate into generic compilers.
