Paul, "This one clear mistake by Gwennap (ITanium to ship next year, not this year), you accept as correct." Oh? "More than 20 major system vendors and six operating-system vendors are committed to delivering IA-64 products when Itanium (code-named Merced) begins shipping next year." Guess he meant to type "this" and made a typo and got "next" in there somehow. "How transparently jealous you are." Oh? The EV68 will crank out over 60 SpecInt95 and over 110 SpecFp95 - 55 100 Base at 1 GHz! It could ship at 1.2+ GHz even before process tweaks like copper and/or SOI are applied. The more interesting score will be SPEC2K. Linley is a funny one... talking about Spec95 numbers when after this month you won't even be allowed to post Spec95, Spec2K from here out. Itanium has a 2.1 GB/s peak system interface (Willamette by comparison will have 3.2 GB/s) so Itanium will probably suffer going from Spec95 to Spec2K ( just like PIII did), check out how an Alpha "whupps" a Pentium in 2K numbers, but ties it with 95 numbers: Base numbers Dell PIII at 733 MHz spec2k = 336 spec95 = 35.3 Alpha ES40 at 667 MHz spec2k = 413 spec95 = 35.6 Also, Itanium sucks up about 150 watts versus 65 watts for EV68. If Itanium is really as successful as Linley "Merced" Gwennap predicts and IA-64 takes over PCs, then we should all invest in power companies beforehand. Rob
