Right, Elmer. See Message 12882954 . Yup, it sat there, stably running Intel's frequency ID utility for hours and hours. Anand was impressed, and so was Tom. Maybe you should write to them, tell them they should use their brains too. Cheers, Dan.

If you use your brain for a minute you'll realize he meant it would probably run FASTER at introduction. Think about it "This is a very first raw look at the silicon" and they have a stable 1.5 GHz system running a presentation for hours. What will mature silicon do? EP, who told you that they were running it at 1.5 G during the powerpoint conference? That's in dispute unless you have a new link to provide that verifies it without a doubt. You yourself indicate that Willamette is a very immature chip....meaning potentially unstable....would you risk running one at top speed for two hours with the risk of a crash/goof like B. Gates a few years back? I doubt it. ted

I am way behind on reading this thread but I've been wondering when someone was going to point that out. <GG> Kevin

Elmer, f you use your brain for a minute you'll realize he meant it would probably run FASTER at introduction. Think about it "This is a very first raw look at the silicon" and they have a stable 1.5 GHz system running a presentation for hours. What will mature silicon do? The fact that a piece of silicon can run one application at room temperature (probably with the voltage jacked up) is a far cry from the silicon being 100% functional on all software at 85 degrees centigrade. The message from IDF was that Willamette is 30% faster than PIII. Scumbria
