Paul, <The ITanium will be very competitive with the Alpha in all floating point applications.> Merely competitive? I'm guessing that with two full FMAC units (able to do four double-precision ops or eight single-precision ops in one clock), 128 FP registers, and a superior EPIC architecture (especially since FP code should be easier to optimize than integer code), Itanium-based workstations will exceed the floating-point performance of Alpha Wildfire-based workstations. But without actual Itanium benchmark results available, we'll just have to assume the worst, just like RatbertRynd is doing. Tenchusatsu
