We do know that Hammers IPC is at least 50% faster then Athlon. Also we know it will debut between 2Ghz and 2.5Ghz. I wouldn't be so sure of your predictions, as P4 was supposed to blow Athlon away in IPC and it's 30% slower.

Milo, a little refresher...

The first P6 was the Pentium Pro @ 150, 166, 180 & 200MHz. PPro performed worse than Pentium on old code. PPro was followed by Klamath. Klamath was followed by Deschutes. Deschutes was followed by Katmai. Katmai was followed by Coppermine. Coppermine was followed by Tualatin....

The PPro FSB was completely re-engineered. It ran at 66MHz and was condemned by the pundits as a bad design intended only to lock AMD out. They couldn't see that it enabled seamless multiprocessing and would scale to (soon) 533MHz and beyond and support Intel's product line from Celeron to top end mainframe class multiprocessor servers. All they could see was junk.

Now you've seen Willamette and only Willamette and you think you can draw a conclusion about it's potential.

I don't think so...
