Cirruslvr,

You wrote "I wouldn't make conclusions about Willy's performance this early"

I believe I labeled my analysis as "my best guess". Since that obviously was not clear enough, how about this.

My analysis on Willy was based on an unreliable report of an early engineering sample. Therefore, reality can easily turn out to be be wildly different.

My "official" willy predictions are:

1) Willy will ship in production in either 2000 or 2001.

2) Willy will debut with at least one speed grade between 800Mhz and 2 Ghz.

3) Willy per clock performance, on average, will show no greater than a factor of three difference from T-bird (either positive or negative).

I would bet money that all three of these will come true. Everything else is speculation.
