PB,

But you obviously don't know squat about Willamette

I have been very positive about Willamette for almost a year now. The garbage I heard yesterday was very annoying however.

This is not a 3 GHz CPU, and probably isn't a 1.5 GHz CPU either. Intel has stated that it is 30% faster than Coppermine, and won't ship until Q4.

Another thing to remember is that a very deep pipeline will be much harder to tune. This is because it undoubtably is very balanced already, and has a limited number of gates per stage to work with.
