Web content is up in the air. After two years of web benchmarks, I'm still uncertain as to actually what they are. The whole thing about the bottleneck not actually existing in the computer system itself gets to me. > maybe a 512KB L2 cache on Northwood will improve > scores on Integer apps. Adding cache most certainly will improve scores on many kinds of apps (not just the sort that uses the GP regs). I am looking forward to seeing what sort of effect it has. Incidentally, does anybody have any idea about Northwood's release date? All I know right now is Q1, 2.20GHz, 130nm, 512KB L2. :/
