<My concern about subtle improvements in architectural performance is that they tend to have a large impact on clock speed. This is a battle that I fight almost every day at work (particularly today!) It is known in the industry as "creeping elegance."> Well, I didn't think I would respond but this last one ;-) I know where you are coming from. All I was trying to do is trying to compare potential IPC performance of two yet-to-be released processors. I am heaviliy in favor of the deep pipeline camp. I like Wilamette architecture a lot (except for the 1/2 cycle ALU which I have doubts on scalability). My personal favorite would be a deeply pipelined 2 ALU 2 FPU (2-128bit ops per clock) with a large cache and without any serious out-of-order execution. I like such a beast because it would make a killer desktop/laptop part. Goodnite, Chuck
