Andreas, I posted the billybob spec number from Aces here. The source claimed they were Intel's own. I put more stock in them than the other leaked benchmarks, because spec isn't something a random hardware site can run. At least not with the Intel's special spec-optimizing compilers. The numbers indicating pretty good FP but mediocre integer performance were also consistent with what we know about Willy. Of course, the good FP performance is dependent on compiling for SSE2; Intel has given warnings about x87 FP being deprecated, so it won't exactly be a surprise if "legacy" FP performance is problematic too. Legacy FP is here defined as not optimized for SSE2, and thus runnable on a few hundred million PCs, vs. maybe runnable on a few hundred thousand PCs by the end of the year for SSE2 optimized apps. Gotta get to .13um is the new mantra. Cheers, Dan.
