Scumbria - Re"As CPU speeds increase, the performance does not scale linearly."

This is somewhat true for the same processors with the same subsystems. What you are failing to consider is that the AthWipe scales poorly while the P 4 scales well because of its new technology, including the deep pipeline. Cache designs and many other techologies also respond differently to frewuensy scaling. The difference between the two is likely to become become greater as frequency scales.

There are even some indications that RDRAM will gain an advantage over conventional memory systems as frequency increases.

1.5 could well equal much less than 2/3 of 2.0
