Ali: Qualification of P4 optimizations will take significant time. Agreed. It still doesn't change the fact that Intel is the name of the game in the town. PIII is being phased out except for value segment on next die shrink and P4 is coming on strong as next mainstream Intel core. john

I see you agree that the applications are on the old X86 architecture. Most of the "head cases" agree with me that the performance is likely to get much better when these applications are recompiled to run efficiently on the P4 architecture. I guess we are just going to be stuck with poorly performing legacy applications software. <G> New things are bad. Old things are good. By the way, ANAND did not run any video or streaming data applications. Even Tom says that the Bapco Sysmark 2000 is an uninteresting benchmark which does not mean much. When these applications are recompiled the "sluggishness" in the legacy software will evaporate. This is going to be a big year for the software folks.
