Elmer, Re: "Hammer will not be competitive with McKinley onwards." I don't know one way or another, but one thing I'd like to do is manage expectations realistically. Itanium 2 performance is already being projected as quite high, and so is Opteron. But comparing the two is also comparing a .18u generation processor with a .13u SOI generation processor. It might be more applicable to compare two processors that will launch at around the same time, and be on similar manufacturing, and that would be Madison and Opteron. Between those two, anything is possible. However, with Itanium 2 looking as good as it is, Madison will perform similarly or better (due to the extra cache), and clock much higher. If Intel can get 50% higher frequencies (which is realistic, IMO, from one process generation to the next), then a 1.5GHz Madison should be a very high performing CPU! wbmw
