Vince, even if Intel showed all four scores (Katmai with and without optimizations, Coppermine with and without optimizations), some people will still complain and say that SPECint and SPECfp aren't representative of real-world applications. Even Prof. Hennessy thinks that DOOMmarks are going to be more important than SPECmarks. (Just ask his son.) So no matter what Intel reveals, we'll still have to wait for the independent web sites to reveal just how well Coppermine does on "real-world applications" like Quake 3 or Half-Life. We do know two things, though. One, SSE is becoming increasingly popular. And two, SSE cache-streaming enhancements can easily be added by a compiler with the click of a mouse. AMD can duplicate the second benefit with the new Athlon instructions, but without the first benefit, getting a critical mass of developers to support Athlon's extensions is going to be tough.
