Itanium - just look at this performance! The performance difference between the native IA-64 binary and the x86 binary is roughly one decimal place, with x86 SPECfp2000 Base coming in at 86 to the 694 of the native IA-64 binary. Native SPEC Base integer performance is 360, while the x86 version scores 113. Needless to say, if you're looking to run some x86 apps on your Itanium workstation, you might be better served by your 233 MHz Pentium II box. It was also mentioned apparently that c't tried to compile SPEC on their own, but couldn't get the compiler to produce an error free binary. If the compiler can't handle the SPEC suite, just what can you trust it on? How gimmicked are those SPEC scores? aceshardware.com
