Scumbria, I've seen those benchmarks already. If that's the true performance of a Pentium 4 running at "250 MHz," I can't wait to see the performance of Pentium 4 running at 1.5 GHz!

Seriously, I don't know what to make of those benchmarks. I'm starting to believe that Pentium 4 will indeed require optimized programs before its true potential can be unleashed. That bodes ill for legacy benchmarks, especially at launch, and the enthusiast web sites like Tom's Hardware will have a field day. On the other hand, it could mean better performance in future benchmarks as more and more software is optimized for Pentium 4 and SSE2.

But hey, if worse comes to worse and Pentium 4 performance is indeed abysmal, at least Itanium will look that much better in comparison. I'm still very worried about Willamette and Foster overshadowing Itanium, at least in a few areas.
