Joseph, Re: "Pentium 4 processor at 2 GHz delivers a SPECfp_base2000 score of 704."* I just looked up Itanium's FP spec scores for comparison. A Dell system scored 703 and an HP system scored 701. That nearly makes an 800MHz Itanium equal in floating point to a Pentium 4 with 2.5x the frequency advantage. The prior arguments about IA-32 killing IA-64 seem exaggerated to me. Even if McKinley has no per-clock advantage over Merced (and we are expecting a sizable advantage), then the boost in clock frequency alone will give it 25-50% higher performance, requiring a Pentium 4 of 2.5-3.0GHz to equal it. I think McKinley has performance (at least in floating point) in the bag. Now all they need to do is get Integer up to a competitive number, say, in the 600's. wanna_bmw
