From JC-news, alleged Willamette performance numbers... Interesting. Fellows here claim to have some performance numbers of a Willamette (Pentium IV). Translation, which I am posting below, was taken from here: "During this first day in Computex, I was able to throw(cast) a blow of test on a machine based around the Intel's future processor Willamette (future " Pentium IV " ) put rythm to 800 Mhz (where are the 1.5 Ghz?). The motherboard was for its part based on a chipset i850, and used naturally some memory Rambus. I was able to make a fast benchmark on this machine results? With a GEFORCE 2 GTS, 230 in CPU 3D mark and 4157 in the 3D mark, under 3D Mark 2000 while with a PIII 600 a similar configuration obtained 388 in CPU 3D mark and 5136 in the 3D mark!". These numbers seem a bit on the low side. Mind you, microarchitecturally, Willamette's fpu isn't anything to scream about, but I suspect you'll see higher scores in future (eg, less beta-y) revisions and with better drivers. Al
