Re: "The guy who announced Intel's Foster/Willamette mentioned that this "P7" design will include, among other things, an "instruction trace cache." Took me a while to find out what the heck that thing does. It's going to take me another while to judge whether such a thing would help in the x86 world. But at least it's something new."
