JC, re: I kinda like using a more instruction-oriented objective number (like, for example, peak MIPS), and I liked most of all the idea of having a high core clock but just dividing everything. Now explain that to a guy who is watching TV, eating a pizza, drinking a beer, thinking he has to go to the bathroom, worry that the Vikings will beat the Giants, while his wife complains that he never takes her out, and by the way there is a 30 second ad on TV for a product that he might or might not buy in the next six months. K.I.S.S., John

JC re: before they went out again and finally succeeded. there is a difference between marketing and science and that is one of them. It is similar to the fact that when the stock market crashes you need at least one generation before next boom. :-)) (people need to forget) re: mips that would not work either. I suggested mips because it is a better measure than ipc. Good example would be a 100-processor system. plenty of mips but the real performance is limited by the ability of the application to take advantage of those mips. The new standards needs to be established for measuring actual performance Regards -Albert
