hmaly, in all fairness it seems that the Itanium must have been running 32-bit code which everyone concedes is not its forte. C

Drean on 'Droid !! From wbmw on the uncensored thread: Message 17881527 ... something isn't right here. What does "cpu regs : 4" mean? Doesn't Itanium have 128 registers? I looked on the web for other SSL benchmarks on Itanium, and found the following. myfsi.hp.com zeus.com platform architecture processor (Mhz) SSL transactions per sec. hp rx4610 Itanium 800 315 hp L3000 PA-8600 550 145 hp LP 1000r Pentium III 1,000 129 Sun Blade 1000 UltraSPARC III 750 42 Sun Ultra 80 UltraSPARC II 450 30 This was using 1024-bit RSA. The Hammer received 205.0 in the benchmark from Inquirer, and that somehow looks comparable to these figures. Here is an update with Itanium 2. hp.com In this benchmark, the Itanium 2 900Mhz processor scores 625, while the 1GHz Itanium 2 scores 751. A 1.26GHz Pentium III scores 175. It appears that Itanium and Itanium 2 do very well with SSL transactions. In fact, the architecture was built for it. I can't verify the results from the Inquirer, but my guess is that they were done with some limiter on the performance of the machine. Maybe 32-bit mode?? wbmw
