JC,
I'm well aware of the benchmarking trap. OTOH, I thought it was most interesting because the "benchmark suite" (whatever that was) came from INTEL...not 3rd parties who don't know what benchmarks Intel will use or whether or not their chip was a dumbed down P4 or not.
Lot's of P4 benchmarks have found their way to the web but these were like not final release silicon. Not that Intel couldn't still be sandbagging.

RE:"We should wait until we know more about Mustang before proceeding. I know that Jerry (Sanders. AMD's cap'n) wasn't fooling around when he alluded to heretofore unannounced surprises in the Mustang, some of which can have a tremendous performance effect, in terms of both ramping frequency and per-clock performance"

We will have to wait. OTOH, any hope for a 256 bit data path to the cache on the Mustang?

Jim
