Scumbria - RE: "I expect Willy to have about 2/3 the IPC of Athlon. That combined with large caches would cause 1.7GHz Willy to need the same DRAM bandwidth as 1GHz Athlon." Statments like that make it harder for me to keep an open mind about Willy's performance. ;) Whatever the move to SDRAM does or doesn't do to Willy, we now know that the cronies at Intel who made the decision to ONLY support DRDRAM in all future platforms are now gone. Looks like Intel management has finally brightened up to reality. "Not much. Micron showed off some DDR benchmarks on Athlon, and they weren't much better than PC133." I thought those benchmarks were for the PIII, and it was not a final chipset? I hope you are wrong. ;)
