Dear Elmer:

At doing 99% of the software out there now. People do not like having to pay money to get the same software, but recompiled. Note, Intel does not provide any multitasking benchmarks for its CPUs much less for the P4. This is its achilles heel. Even Anand said that Athlon had a huge advantage over Xeon at web serving (a large multitasking load). Even those leaked benchmarks, show that P4 is worse than P3 at 70% clock over most of the standard benches. Against 760 DDR, its even worse.

If P4 at 1.5 runs at the same performance as a gig Tbird on 760 DDR on most software, but at a price $700 more, which CPU would you think the public would buy? At the price differential of $700, one could afford a Kyrotech 1.6G Tbird on a 760 DDR with PC2100 (133MHZ DDR) for the same money as a 1.5G P4 on a i850 with dual PC800 RDRAM both at 256MB (at 512MB, the Kyrotech would be cheaper). IMHO, the Kyrotech would run roughshod over the P4 in all but a small handfull of tests. Mustang (or Palomino) would get probably to 2G on Kyrotech and all but one or two contrived benchmarks, would make P4 into roadkill.

Using benchmarks like Tim Wilkins, a normal 1G Tbird on a KT133 would outrun a 1.5G P4 (the x87 on P4 is said to be especially bad).

I am still waiting for the Intel definitive benchmarks (those highly contrived ones) for P4.
