Dan, <the Athlon core looks like a far better candidate for hyperthreading.> Itanium 2 with its eleven execution units looks like a far better candidate for HyperThreading. The difference is that neither Athlon nor Itanium 2 have it yet, so your point is purely academic. By the way, if Athlon resembles Alpha EV6, and Hammer resembles Alpha EV7, then it makes sense for K9 to resemble Alpha EV8. And before Alpha got canned, EV8 was going to have 4-way multithreading. You can draw your own conclusions from that. Oh, and before I forget, let me correct yet another fact you got totally wrong: <P4 has 8K plus the trace cache (equivalent of about another 8K).> The trace cache is advertised as being able to hold 12K micro-ops. Unless each micro-op is 0.67 bytes long, the trace cache is definitely bigger than 8K. Tenchusatsu
