Kapkan, Re: "But you have to randomly branch to one of the 99999 statements and there are much more of them than fits in the trace cache. I think you have to apologize." You're a bigger idiot than I thought. Such a number of instructions won't fit in the Athlon cache, either, so you'll not get an apology from me. Besides, even if you were to correctly engineer your stupid piece of code to hit every Pentium 4 penalty that exists, what would be the point? You are certainly not proving that a 2GHz Pentium 4 runs at 1GHz, nor are you giving any kind of real life scenario. You are grasping for any kind of argument that can discredit the architecture, and it's making you look like a huge fool. You should accept the fact that every single architecture has code that can break performance. The Pentium 4 architecture simply has more of them, but the point is moot, since most of the ways you can break the architecture don't exist, or are very rare. I find it hard to believe that even an AMDroid such as yourself can hate Intel so much that you have to fabricate these obscure examples just to prove a point. You must have had a really bad experience working there. Did you get fired? I am simply curious, because your hatred for Intel goes much farther than just a disagreement about the micro-architecture (unless it was disagreeing with the micro-architecture that got you fired). wbmw
