Elmer, Re: "A 2.5-3GHz P4 of the current generation. Northwood will be a newer version and will likely enjoy enhancements above and beyond frequency alone." Ok, then let's change my assumption to McKinley having at least similar IPC benefits over Merced that Northwood has over Willamette (5-10%, IMO). Though it will probably have much more, which would only prove my point further. wanna_bmw

Hyper-Threading Technology and Banias Processor Architecture As an example of the innovative approach Intel will bring to the server market segment, Otellini demonstrated an advanced technology the company calls Hyper-Threading. The technology allows microprocessors to handle more information at the same time by sharing computing resources more efficiently. ``Intel's Hyper-Threading technology effectively enables multiprocessing on a single chip,'' said Otellini. ``We believe this technology represents a significant advance in computing.'' During his remarks, Otellini demonstrated that the breakthrough in processor design delivered a 30 percent increase in performance in certain server and workstation applications. Intel plans to bring Hyper-Threading technology to market first in its Xeon(TM) processor family next year and migrate it throughout the product line over time as software is tuned to take advantage of its performance benefits. biz.yahoo.com
