Mani,

It says it is for a 1.00 GHz Willamette

In that case, Willy is just a little worse than I expected.

I have no doubt that Intel will convince the press that they really are wearing fine new clothes, instead of being bare ass naked.

They will say:

1. P4 will excel on all future applications, because of SSE.

2. P4 will excel on "memory intensive" applications.

3. P4 will scale up to 1THz.

The good news for Intel about Willy is that it doesn't threaten Merced.

I would like to point out that the scores there seem to agree with the "Pikachu/EvilBoi" results from a couple months ago.
