Dear Ali: You also apparently didn't get my remark that full utilisation of the FP units requires special compiler, which is unlikely to be near soon given current AMD financial state and limited resources. Out and out lie! Its already available and has been for a year, Sun's Studio 11 C compiler. You can see its benefits in SPECfp_2000. The more cores you add, the higher the SPECfp_2000 score got. It has a higher score than any C2D product. aceshardware.com It got 3538 for 4 Opteron 856s at 3GHz. The highest C2D got was 3056. It was beat by a single 2.8GHz Opteron 1220. The Opterons even beat Itanium. The only CPU that wasn't beaten was a 2.3GHz Power 5+ and the 2 DC 2.1GHz Power 5+ (4 cores) was the top at over 4K. FYI, IBM also has a parallizing C compiler to get the above. So those kind of compilers are already available. Now take your medicine and agree that you were WRONG! Pete
