I found the leakage about McKinley, it was at realworltech, not aceshardware. Name: Nathan Brookwood (nathan@insight64.com) 10/19/01 At IDF, Intel said "Based on early measurements, today’s Itanium processor binaries expected at 1.7x on McKinley." This translates to 644 on SPECint2000, given the 379 result for the HP rx46100 posted at SPEC.org. Virtually all this performance gain comes from the faster caches and improved clock speed of McKinley, since the Merced binaries cannot take advantage of the increased number of execution units, reduced pairing restrictions on instruction issue, or shorter instruction latencies in the McKinley core. Intel estimates that with recompilation to exploit its improved microarchitecture, a 1 GHz McKinley will come in at 2X Merced's SPECint score, or approximately 758. This still doesn't trump the Power4's 783 on SPECint2000_base, but it's not all that far off, either. realworldtech.com
