Re: "I doubt that Willy will see a huge speed improvement from speedpath optimization. Each pipe stage is very short, and unless there are some gross errors in the initial implementation, there is a very limited amount of speed work that can be done to enhance the overall speed of such a pipeline." Process Scumbria, process. I believe Willy was designed for the earliest .18u process which has undergone many improvements plus shrinks since. Whatever argument you use to claim Thunderturd will improve in speed applies to Willy at least as much, and Willy had a 400MHz advantage, based on demo's and probably a significant architectural advantage as well. I'd love to continue debating but I'm off to the airport. EP
