Epinephrine,

Re: Willy

I think willy is a very elegant solution and very much a threat.

Seems to me that they may well get excellent performance once the software optimizations are done.

My actual point is that AMD may be doing something similar with Mustang.

My only beef with willy has been the RDRAM descision which IMHO will kill of willy this year. Next year willy should be tough and certainly by mid 2001 when RDRAM prices may get reasonable.

regards,

Kash Johal

Epinephrine - Re: "and maybe even Paul can show me where I am making mistaken conclusions and where I am being foolish. "

How much of your AMD investment is being underwritten by JC ?

I assume he is sharing in your profits and helping to offset your losses, if any.

If not, maybe you should think twice about trusting an AMD cheerleader to evaluate an Intel CPU that he has never laid his eyes or hands on.

Epinephrine, all Intel said so far is that Willamette's FPU will be faster clock-for-clock than P6. This was revealed in the Willamette Software Developer's Guide (page 1-5), and from the context of the statement, I think they were talking about native FPU performance, not FPU vs. SSE or SSE2.
