Blow Hard Dan - Re: "Intel designed Itanic/McKinley to provide good performance on non-existent software and fall flat on its face running anything actually available for several years - OOPS!"

Non-existent software?

You are a FOOL - aren't you Monica Girl?

Read below to see how well a 667 MHz ITanium blows the DOORS off a 1000 MHz AthWiper !!

As you can see from the results, the 1 GHz Athlon and 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 are about equal, with the Athlon slightly ahead throughout. The Itanium dominates over both, however, which isn't entirely surprising considering this benchmark is unlikely to expose any weaknesses present in early IA-64 compilers. The Athlon was configured with SDRAM, but it's not indicated whether or not it is PC100 or PC133. The Pentium 4, as you know, uses dual-channel DRDRAM thanks to the i850 chipset. Lastly, the Itanium's memory interface is unknown, but is probably some kind of interleaved (4-way or more) SDRAM.
