Elmer: How big was the increase from K6 to Athlon? Huge. Single precision floating point performance close to doubled, double precision floating point performance quadrupled. All this without the need for recompiles ;-) Despite your choice of example, I do agree with you. Much of the "low-hanging fruit" has been picked and actually feeding the processor with instructions and data is a major bottleneck today. (I'm not suggesting that there aren't a lot of significant improvements to be made on the processor front!) -fyo
