<hmaly: but that isn't what Intel is hyping.> No one ever accused Intel Marketing of being subtle ;) This whole "improving your Internet experience" thing is complete and utter BS. In the end, a company who depends on deceiving customers won't be able to keep its customers. but I also disagree in that the PIII might be able to perform just as well with all of the SSE2 optimizations with a 30% slower clock. I'm not convinced that the PIII FPU could do double precision math in a comparable amount of time without being reworked quite a bit. Regardless, the PIII wouldn't be able to scale much anyway - not even on .13mu. And in the end, the Hammer series will have those optimizations plus a much higher IPC; and will be available before most of those optimizations are available. In the end the P4 will have to beat the Hammer. If AMD comes out with a good SSE2 implementation, things look very good. If the SOI process works out as AMD hopes, things look incredibly favorable. -fyo
