I don't know one way or another, but one thing I'd like to do is manage expectations realistically. Itanium 2 performance is already being projected as quite high, and so is Opteron. But comparing the two is also comparing a .18u generation processor with a .13u SOI generation processor. It might be more applicable to compare two processors that will launch at around the same time, and be on similar manufacturing, and that would be Madison and Opteron. Well if you want to make that comparison then there's no comparison. I haven't seen any recent benchmarks for McKinley (so I can speak freely) but I expect it to beat everything out there in everything. EP
