Re: "Also, there are a number of improvements in the upcoming "Mustang" revision of the Athlon which could have a material effect in average ipc for specint2000, but I do not know enough to be certain" I believe at AMD's CC they confirmed that Mustang would have no architectural changes, just larger cache. Re: "I agree with what you've been saying, that performance per process is what's important in examining the design, not performance per clock. Well, that and to some extent performance per price, that sort of thing. But I am very interested in seeing Willamette's max spec performance in the P858 (wait, was it P860? I always get fracking confused about which process is which -- assistance would be welcomed here)" The Microprocessor Watch, a free publication from MPR, expects P4 to hit 2GHz on it's current process, P858, before moving to .13u and god only knows how fast it will run from there. I'm as anxious as you to see the real scores...... EP
