Kap,

My point as long as I remember has always been that P4 is not a well balanced architecture. The higher frequency does not make-up for inefficiencies of a 20 (28 if you count decode) stage pipeline.

It may turn out that the pipeline is not well balanced. I suspect the double speed ALU will prove to be a major obstacle for ramping the MHz.

Willy should have come out of the shoot at 2.0 GHz.
