Scumbria, today I got my first look at the McKinley CPU microarchitecture. I'm sure if you ever get a chance to see the u-arch for yourself (perhaps publicly later this year?), you too will be thoroughly impressed. Tenchusatsu

Re: "One of the main problems with P4 is the small single ported L1 cache. This is not the result of a lack of transistors, but rather the decision made to access the cache in two cycles. Athlon uses a large three cycle dual-ported L1 cache, which I believe is far more sensible. I suspect that P4 is permanently crippled because of this decision" You're wrong again. You seem to think Intel simply made a decision and then decided to wait till the design was complete to see how it worked. A very thorough analysis was done on the L1 design and there would have been virtually zero benefit from a larger cache. Perhaps you guys should try simulating your architecture before you commit to it? One second thought, forget it. Just keep doing things the was you do now. EP
