I don't think Sharkey knows what he is talking about, as evidenced by this statement from the article: He may not, but he claims to be quoting intel. If true, isn't that number bad for intel? Wouldn't it put a 1.4GHz Willy on par with a 1GHz P3 in the best case scenerio (trace hit). Intel says that they "have reduced the number of missed branches by approximately 30% from that of the P6."

I was drinking iced tea when I read your post, and nearly ejected it all onto my monitor! ;P That's the funniest thing I've seen all day, bar none. I pray that I seldom say stuff quite that ... misled. > According t Sharkey, Willy's branch prediction is 30% better than Coppermine's. BTW, wouldn't that mean that P4's branch prediction is well above 100%? Whoa! ;) -JC
