Joe, <But if you are right and 14% MHz increase with a very linear CPU performance increase was not enough, why would Intel release a 6% MHz increase (1.7 GHz to 1.8 GHz) with a less linear performance increase due to smaller L2 cache of P4?> Desktop and workstation processors are higher volume and more diverse than server processors. Besides, did they even release a Xeon version of Pentium 4 1.8 GHz? <One good reason for releasing 800 MHz back then (assuming Intel was capable of doing so) is that Intel was definitely unable to make 900 MHz version back in 2000> Considering the amount of time and effort it takes to validate server platforms on a new speed grade, I don't see what value an increase of 5% in TPC-C is worth.
