Re: "To be generous, Itanium 600MHz will be around 600MHz coppermine."

Paul: On x86 code - but nobody will buy ITanium for running just x86 code.


Remember Paul- X86 code was the topic of this discussion.

Why don't you go back and study the Server and Workstation markets before you make further incorrect and simplistic estimate of the ITanium performance.


You have yet to answer why this 5 year in the making chip will not be able to beat an on the market Alpha in floating point.

And as for servers, I bring you back to a very old question I asked you: Is Intel making a JVM for Itanium? If not, scratch the server side java market (hint: when you go to a web page and it says "www.***.com/****/***.JSP")

And what of performance in the other scripting server market? ("www.***.com/****/***.ASP")

Intel doesn't get it: the point of fast processors is to make it easy to write software, not to make it hard! If server performance was such a big deal, dot com's would write all their software in C++. Do you understand why they use ASP and JSP, and PERL instead?

And as for workstation users who happen to be lucky enough not to care about x86 software, there is a clear winner: the Alpha!
