"The FP is quite impressive but you can buy a CuMine system today that outperforms it in SPECint95 based on baseline scores. specbench.org A glimpse of things to come when CuMine goes over a GHz this month." Good thing too as an 800 MHz PIII does less than a 667 MHz Alpha... so when each hits a GHz, PIII is further behind maybe... but it doesn't much matter. What matters is we can all shed a tear for Itanium as the in-order core of Itanium , without on-chip L2 , at 733 MHz will be quite sad when we get a glimpse of SpecInt for Itanium... hence we always hear how well Itanium will do on floating point. By the way, 21264 doesn't have on-chip L2 just yet.
