Re: We've seen Itanium2 under HP-UX beat POWER4 under AIX on some compute-intensive benchmarks substantially Yep, inverting arrays, of a size chosen to fit Itanium's cache, with multipass compilers optimizing for the data, Itanium is swell. But running a database or application server? 4-way Itanium runs at the same speed as 2-way PIII. At least, that's what the benchmarks we've seen so far, have shown. Those were Itanium 1 benchmarks, Maybe 4-way Itanium II will run as fast as 4-way PIII. Do you think Dell passed on Itanium II because it performed so well? Intel is offering a complete solution, configured in a case, ready to go. Your dog has all the engineering skills and resources needed to get into the Itanium II sales biz. All Dell had to do was slap a sticker on the box and add a page to their web site. Absolutely no engineering or qualification of any kind required. Yet Dell still passed on Itanium II. But go ahead and tell yourself that Itanium II is a low cost, high performance wonder. Eveybody knows what a helpless pack of fools make up Dell, at least as far as the marketing of PCs and servers is concerned.
