I think my chart makes it clear that the performance of both Itanium and McKinley PER CPU is abysmal. <meant for highly scalable multiprocessor servers> Building a 1000 CPU server using McKinley is like making a tower out of gold bricks. Many more towers will be built out of stone bricks. The power consumption of the McKinley and the Itanium will prevent any servers with 1000 gold bricks from ever being built. <you are using a single threaded benchmark> Is there any particular reason why you feel that SMP Itaniums interfaced to SDRAM will somehow escape memory bottlenecks better than a Athlon MP's interfaced to DDR?
