It will be extremely difficult for Throughbred to match Northwood Huh? Not true in SPECint. First, the results Elmer showed us are for an i850 RDRAM system, which is now almost impossible to find. With DDR, I'd expect the results to be about equal in SPECint. Second, TBred is supposed to have additional IPC enhancements and I expect that the MHz ramp for TBred will more than match the Northwood until the end of the year. After all, the SPECint for AMD's best 0.18, the XP2000+ is 697 and the SPECint for Intel's best 0.18, the P4-2000 is behind at 640, even using RDRAM. I agree that SPECfp is a lost cause until Hammer; this is mostly due to the compiler and SSE2, which AMD won't implement until Hammer. SPEC numbers from Elmer's post: SPECbase INT FP XP2000+ 697 596 NW 2.0A 735 744 +5.5% +25% NW 2.2 786 779 +12.8% +30.7% Petz
