I would call a 15% lead over the ia64 pretty substantial. yes it's not the same clock speed, but if that's the clock speed they can achieve on that process it's equivalent. the P4 covers a LOT of sins by ratcheting up it's speed, what matters is the final capability, not the capability/clock (if capability/clock was what mattered the AMD chips would have put intel out of business and the P4 would be as common as ia-64) David Lang On Sun, 23 Feb 2003, David Mosberger wrote: > Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2003 14:40:44 -0800> From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com> > Reply-To: davidm@hpl.hp.com > To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@transmeta.com> > Cc: davidm@hpl.hp.com, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org > Subject: Re: Minutes from Feb 21 LSE Call > > >>>>> On Sun, 23 Feb 2003 13:34:32 -0800 (PST), Linus Torvalds <torvalds@transmeta.com> said: > > Linus> Last I saw P4 was kicking ia-64 butt on specint and friends. > > I don't think so.
