Windsock, Re: "Unless you are looking at a table in a software reference manual describing individual instructions, the concept of IPC is not even a fixed number -- it a range."

Excellent point, Windsock. The AMDroids have not yet realized this fact, which is why they continue to support the AMD notion that IPC can be summed up in a single QuantiSpeed number. Some of the brighter AMDroids may try to argue in favor of an "average" IPC, but only when the data points that are used for the average are of their choosing.
