Elmer, Re: "IBM has just posted SPEC scores for their POWER4." Power4 is a very aggressive design. Power sacrifices had to be made in order to get these very impressive scores. According to Bradley McCredie at MPF, the 1.1GHz Power4 dissipates 150W of power, and that's on an SOI process. I believe those scores are for the 1.3GHz model. I may be too optimistic, but from what I saw and heard at MPF, I bet McKinley can get close to those fp scores at 1GHz and 125W of power. Fortunately for IBM, though, Power4 beats McKinley to market by two quarters. wanna_bmw P.S. SPEC is a single threaded benchmark, so it is accurate to consider the scores as representative of a single CPU core.
