Tony - RE: "you pick out some negative looking things about the P4"

I KNEW I would get at least one response like this. ;)

If you look at the the first line of my post you will see it said - "Some new Willy info". I suppose I could have emphasized the NEW in my post to prevent any confusion.

The execution trace cache and rapid execution engine (double pumped ALUs) were disclosed at the spring IDF.

"Looks like you guys are looking under rocks and around trees for any P4 weaknesses."

If you re-read my post and Anand's article, I think you will see that I objectively stated the new features about Willy we didn't previously know. One thing I forgot was the article stated it has 42M transistors vs. the Athlon's 37M (I think).

RE: "or this, very big advantage P4

In terms of the bandwidth available to and from the L2 cache, a hypothetical Pentium III clocked at 1.5GHz would have 24GB/s of available bandwidth to and from the L2 cache, while a Pentium 4 clocked at the same speed would have 48GB/s of available bandwidth because it is able to transfer data on every clock."

This was included when I said Willy's L2 cache sends data every clock vs. the Cumine's every other clock.

Anything else you like me to successfully refute? ;)
