Dear Semiconeng:

Dean and Paul think that 500 MHZ disadvantage at 1.7 GHz is better than a 600 MHz disadvantage at 2.4 but, in reality it is the opposite, 1.2/1.7 is smaller than 1.8/2.4. It is clock speed disadvantage relative to absolute clock since IPC multiplies and doesn't sum to clock rate. They must be bad at fractions and math overall to make such a fundamental error! They also fail to make a distinction between comparing CPUs sold in a flat environment and CPUs sold in a rising one. Its like oranges sold in a freeze and oranges sold in warm temperatures. The later gets far more money than the former but, with the first predicting a freeze for both and the later predicting good growing for both. I guess that it is the same blind spot that fools them both times. They forget to normalize the context before comparing results. Sloppy thinking!

Pete
