Also, as WBW said I don't see how any other CPU would not have the same problem. One of the knocks on P4 has been that it has relatively poor branch prediction and with the deep pipeline the penalty is greater than a processor with a less deep pipeline and better BP. If this is true then perhaps the BP problem has been addressed on Northwood? A doubling of the cache doesn't hurt either. When you throw in Jackson Technology the processor has something else to work on while performing the fetch thus lessening the overall penalty. No? You'd almost think Intel had it figured out in the first place.... EP
