Tony, Re: "Assuming IBM is quoting against the best case of 900 MHz, 2 MB ones for Compaq, that 40% is not a bad increase." That is, in fact, the comparison. You can check out www.tpc.org for confirmation. Despite having 1/2 the upper level cache, the Xeon MP delivers 40% more performance than Intel's previous top-of-the-line product. I only wonder how much of it is due to Hyperthreading. Given the frequency bump of ~78%, this CPU shows some decent scaling, especially considering that TPC is such an I/O limited benchmark. Also, outperforming the 1GHz Alpha EV68 is another achievement in and of itself. wbmw
