hmaly, Re: "If the demo was any indication of Madison's speed, we are hardly worried." What demo? You mean the silicon wafer - by which I guess you mean that Madison performance will be zero? In the presentation given today, Intel suggested that McKinley 4-way TPC performance will be roughly 27% faster than the recently launched Hyperthreaded Xeon MP. That comes out to 70k TpmC, and running only at 1GHz (for comparison, a 1GHz Alpha only scores 50k TpmC on this test). This is a big integer, memory, and I/O heavy test, and Itanium may just blow away the competition. Where do you suppose Madison might be at 1.5GHz or above? First year sales mean nothing. It's all about what happens from now on. And from the looks of things, it's no wonder that Compaq dumped Alpha in favor of Itanium. wbmw
