Does Jonathan Joseph actually understand these terms? Or his he regurgitating what Intel tells him?

And what is he basing his conclusion 'P-IV is a screamer' on? Has he seen benchmarks? It seems as though he is concluding this merely from the pipeline length, cache changes, ALU speed, etc., which is kind of shaky ground from which to be drawing overall impressions from.
Standard benchmarks would be much more informative.

Whatever. The important point is
the P-IV is a screamer---it easily has bandwidth to 2GHz. Compared to the P-
III, the 20-stage pipeline that is 2x longer, the ALU (arithmetic logic unit)
executes integer instructions 2x faster, the 400MHz system bus is 3x faster,
and the decode cache system is more efficient. Unfortunately, SDRAM chipsets
will not likely be available until Q1/Q2 of 2001.
