Scumbria - <The performance numbers were interesting. The perception was that the performance gains were due almost entirely to improvements in memory performance (fast L2, improved buffering on the memory bus, etc.) > Good. Nothing wrong with the above, is there? <The talk itself was somewhat dull, because there really wasn't much in the way of new architectural features.> Oh well, can't win 'em all. <All in all, Coppermine fared quite well> Two positives, one negative. Check. <compared to Merced, which became the hardware whipping boy of the conference.> Considering the audience (not you), this is not surprising. <(Microsoft took a massive beating on the software side.)> Hmmmm. I'd be interested to hear what the tone was here, when you feel like it. Thanks for the report Scumbria. PB
