The extra 256k of cache is a lot of real estate for just 5%-7% gain in IPC but the P4 is desparate for that...

Will be interesting to see if that is 5-7% across the board, or a minimum of 5-7% (more on others) or a maximum of 5-7% (less on others). I'm betting that the 5-7% increase is probably toward the low end of the scale. Intel has had over a year and a half to work out any artificial performance limiters in the initial Willamette design, and I would expect to see some of those in the Northwood. I would expect to see a bigger boost from Prescott, but that's not due out until early '03.

Of course, then you've got the scalability questions. With a stated frequency goal of 3GHz by the end of 2002, AMD could go from quantispeed to nanorevenue.
