Re: I can remember when the original Pentium came out there was little difference between it and the 100MHz 486 available at the time.

Good example. What you're saying is that a Pentium was as fast as a 486 clocked 50% higher.

Now, for the first time in the history of the X86 line, we see a new core in which there is a collapse in IPC instead of an increase. This is clearly demonstrated by the PIII that has the same performance as a P4 clocked 50% (P4 with RDRAM or DDR) to 100% higher (P4 with SDRAM).
