1 Opteron new benchmark
Just compare TOms result with Amd zone result and you will get your anserwer te best juicy part is Sisoft INT and FPU
score the disparity is huge
2 Dothan postpone
few month agao dothan were state to go at 2004 Q2 it was accelerate to 2003 Q4 at the same time as prescott.Now they have put it back from few week as it still can be release in 2003.
3 Suppost prescott postpone
That a false fact that come from nothing in any case intel have ever release a mobile CPU at a smaller Node that a desktop version so in simple word it will never come after Dothan.At worse it will be Q1.
4 Presscott power dissipation.
Nw 3.2 have a Max power consumation of 108 (around) in any case a Presccott at 4.0 GHZ will use this power so tho say they are the new found block heater look at actual CPU and just calculate a bit.In any case a later stepping can come to solve the proble and drop it by a nice 8 or 10 watt wich will result in a Prescoott 4.6 GHZ that still fit in the roadmap figure.
5 a higher that expect thermal figure dont lead to delay
6 The cpu architecture improvement will still be there and nothing can change that so as i know A64 is not a Nw killer.
I dont like french test<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by juin on 08/10/03 05:49 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
