This is a great myth. Look at the top ten clustered scores at www.tpc.org. Look at the top price performers, all MS SQL. SQL on Windows 2000 supports 64 Gigabytes today. I'm willing to be educated. Are you saying that TPCC scores are highly dependent on addressability alone and 64 GBytes of address space is sufficient for applications today and in the reasonable future? Okay. But it is easy to project P4 @ 2 GHz to do about 630 SpecFp2000, see Paul DeMone's analysis for example: Unfortunalely that link doesn't work. You know..... Itanium may just end up suprisingly equivalent in FP performance to a 2 GHz P4 , and not even close on the more critical for business/commercial Integer metric. There will be something there for everybody when the iTanium benchmarks are released. Somethings beyond your expectations for Intel fans to crow about and something for Scumbria and AMDites to rejoice in(they live for that sort of thing). I will once again remind you that McKinley promises dramatic improvements and here's the kicker... McKinley is still on .18u........ Intel has a .13u process that is for all intents and purposes in production now. That offers the potential for dramatic increase in on-die cache compared to McKinley(which offers possible dramatic increases compared to Merced), higher frequencies and other architectural enhancements.
