Pete,

The results I quoted was that of single Palomino on KT-266A based motherboard, with unbuffered. I took them from the first column, 1 process. Performance of single CPU systems did not change much when additional processes were added.

But my point was not to compare the relative performance of P4 and AXP, but to show how adding 256K of memory completely erased the IPC advantage AXP held, and P4 took lead in some areas. On this particular benchmark there was a 50% increase in performance. Further, my point was to show how misguided the idea of 256K Thoroughbred was.

The idea to save die space at expense of performance (and therefore reduce attractiveness) of the CPU, at the time AMD is able to sell not much more than half of the potential output just makes no sense.
