<It is indeed likely that the whole thing is made up. I do not buy it for a second> These first Willy benchmarks look right on the money to me. The Willy architectural performance on FP benchmarks would be slower than PIII: same single-issue FPU minus additional branch mispredict and trace cache penalties. I estimate a 1.3GHz Willy would only be as fast as 1GH PIII on FP. Add to that a half speed decoder and Willy, as a server part, does not look so great either. So what is left? SPECint and a lot of hot air. Kap
