<Would you mind sharing with us how Willy will perform> I have a prediction to make. Willy at 1.4GHz will outperform Pentium-III-1.133G on application benchmarks. By at least 5%. But it will promise to scale better. - Ali

Re: "Would you mind sharing with us how Willy will perform in relation to the current Athlon?" I don't know the answer to that one but I will say that I don't think you will see the true performance potential with the first version of P4. When the Pentium came out it was huge hot and speed limited. Only after a process conversion did it start to shine. The PPro was huge and hard to manufacture with it's 2 die in one package. Only after a process conversion and switch to Klamath did it really take off. P4 will be the same way. It will be the performance leader, according to Intel, but I don't think it will hit it's stride until well into 2001 when it's moved to .13u and the frequency really takes off. Until then, CuMine will remain very competitive with a few significant surprises in store that haven't been discussed anywhere in public (AFAIK). <G> EP
