P4's was 3-wide plus it had a longer pipeline which means it should benefit more from memory thread parallelism than Nehalem. OTOH Nehalem has more execution units, another issue slot and more cache which means it's more likely to benefit from compute thread parallelism. That's what my initial thoughts/analyses are on the differences. Power's SMT is excellent in virtually all applications and puts Intel's to shame but that may partly be due to the greater Risc registers. I'm not saying Nehalem's SMT will be no better than P4's just that we only have a quite poor first implementation to go on as a track record and I'm not believing spin without evidence of the implementation to back it up. As to believing what Intel says verbatim you used to say they were 'lying scumbags' so why should I lol ? I question everything from first principles and just because it don't tally with what Intel or you claim is in no way embarrassing, it's refreshing in these days of docile sheep sycophants like yourself ;-). As to sharikou I think you resemble him far more than I ever would ;0).
