Scumbria, <Applications have not been partitioned properly for MP.> Precisely. Multi-threaded applications are much tougher to write and debug. <if AMD gets CMP going first, the other company may be in deep doo-doo.> Gee, weren't you ridiculing Pentium 4's performance on legacy apps? Guess how well those legacy apps will take advantage of CMP? What do you think will happen first: 1) A simple recompile for Pentium 4 (which also improves performance on other platforms like Athlon) -OR- 2) A total overhaul which partitions an application into multiple threads?
