Scumbria, Ref Where did the 3.0 GHz number come from? Process Boy posted a link to a prelim. version of Willamette Programers Manual. developer.intel.com Intel is still playing its cards close to its vest, and disclosing precious little. No disclosures about numbers of integer units, floating point units, instruction execution time etc. But it does disclose the following architectural aspects: A. The Integer Unit runs at 2x the processor clock. B. The presence of a trace cache to improve performance on branches. C. Describes the new SIMD instructions, and new Cache Control Instructions. I have not studies them in detail, except to note that SIMD has been extended to double precision operands ( a painful omission on Pentium III). I feel that the performance may be even higher than we think, and Intel will not disclose these details until late Q2. Some AMD faithful still appear to be in denial.
