Epi - Re: "The only thing remotely in doubt to me is whether Willamette will have a single issue FPU " Let go of the single/dual issue FPU. Look at what we know. The AthWipey has a three issue FPU vs. a Coppermine single issue FPU - and the Coppermine is only slightly slower than an AthWipey in FPU performance. Why don't you ask why the Athwipey ISN'T THREE TIMES as fast as a Coppermine in FPU calculations - but only a few per centage points faster in SOME benchmarks - and slower in others ! Then ask yourself - did Intel design the Willamette FPU to be SLOWER than a Coppermine FPU ? Paul
