Re: "The applications where P4 stinks the most are mostly integer based, running under Windows, which is also strictly integer based, so no optimizations will help here, only a substantially higher clock speeds" Huh??? The P4 posted the highest integer scores ever measured for any processor on the planet in SPEC2000 and by a significant margin. Those scores were measured running WIN2000 and now you claim it won't benefit from code optimization because it stinks at integer??? Re: "In clock for clock, P4 gets absolutely slaughtered by both P3 and Athlon" Joe this is a silly argument. The P3 tops out at a little over 1GHz on the .18u process and P4 will hit 2GHz on the same process. You are arguing apples and oranges because the 2 do not compare in frequency. Neither does Athlon. Who cares what the frequency is, it's the performance that counts at any given point in time. If all you cared about is frequency for marketing purposes then P4 is still far and away the leader regardless of it's lead in pure performance. EP
