Milo, Re: "Yes I can and I did, but the point was to show P4 was a flop compared to previous NEW generation products." No you didn't. You said, "P4 2Ghz only 63% faster on it's BEST benchmark of Q3 then a P/// at 1Ghz. If it was a 2Ghz P/// I'd expect ~100% faster then a 1Ghz P/// a ~37% IPC penalty for going to P4." First, I've already showed that the Pentium III doesn't scale linearly with Quake III, and I also showed that the Pentium 4 scales much better than the Pentium III. You are trying to prove that a theoretical 2GHz Pentium III would perform better than a 2GHz Pentium 4, but you have no way of showing that. By using available data, we can extrapolate the performance of a 2GHz Pentium III, and it turns out that it won't beat the 2GHz Pentium 4, which makes the Pentium 4 a better design. Check out my results again here. Message 16430384 You're previous statement is wrong, any way you look at it. wanna_bmw
