I remember it being disclosed back in Spring of 1999 that the IPC of the 1.4 GHz Willamette would be about the same as the 1.0 GHz PIII. And it turned out not to be the case, not even close.

Re:I remember it being disclosed back in Spring of 1999 that the IPC of the 1.4 GHz Willamette would be about the same as the 1.0 GHz PIII Actually, I recall you expressing skepticism on those marathon Ace's Hardware threads, too. Your name should be added to that list (and probably a few others as well - not me, I didn't know enough). Nobody had the conviction of Scumbria, though. I remember a chorus coming back at you three, convincingly claiming inside confirmation of decent IPC for P4 on X86 code. Such claims were, of course, impossible to refute by anyone without a system to benchmark - there really wasn't anything to say, but that didn't stop Scumbria from from continuing to broadcast his conclusions! And, of course, it turned out that you three were absolutely correct in your analyses. Regards, Dan
