<ptanner: Well, as JC's long detailed post showed Kewney hasn't paid attention to the details as his game of choice...> Kewney doesn't know wtf he is talking about. He may have the conclusions somewhat right, but his facts and arguments are completely bogus. Here's a nice little example: Oh, there'll be a version of the P3 with 200 MHz ram; it will go faster than 1 GHz... but essentially, the silicon engine inside the P3 is old, old, old; if you build one running at 2GHz, it probably would give you around 30% improvement at best over a 1 GHz design. My expert friends reckon you'll probably never see a P3 running faster than 1.5 GHz; there's no point. They could build one, but it wouldn't process Windows programs any quicker. It would spend all its time saying; "Ooopsie, that data is not in the cache; just hang about while I go fetch it..." This guy's "design friends" (if, indeed, he really has any) need to teach him a thing or two... -fyo
