Techusatsu, The (YUK) Register's take on the benchmarks: The Itanium may prove to be more than just one awful chip. It could be two awful chips, in one integrated flip-chip package.... As Terje Mathisen points out over on comp.arch, "Running effectively at Pentium 100 speeds means that it averages 4-10 cycles per x86 instruction executed, which as you noted is slow even for a sw emulation." theregister.co.uk Joe

Ten, re: maybe we shouldn't be jumping to conclusions based on a single data point A few years back, a Merrill retail analyst trying to support his contention that consumer electronics retailers weren't worth owning wanted to say in a research report that the retailers wouldn't benefit from a computer upgrade cycle because no one would upgrade to the next generation Intel chips because they might run as slow as 386s. Given that Intel was heavily favored by the chip analyst at the time and because the retail analyst wasn't considered an expert in chip performance, the comment wasn't approved for publication.
