Re: Look at the SPEC results yourself

I am looking:

CPU System SPECint2000     Base Peak 
2.0 GHz Pentium 4           640 640 
1.4 GHz Athlon              495 554  
1.2 GHz Athlon MP           495 522 
833 MHz 21264B              497 571 
800 MHz Itanium             314 314

Big multi-processor servers are primarily integer machines iterating through database indexes and executing Java or ASP scripts. Even if compiling SPEC on a compiler that can successfully compile code besides SPEC results in numbers 25% lower for the P4, I'd say Itanium is a major "why bother?" - even at 50% higher clock speeds.
