Well the Athlon MP is going against L2 256kb p4 xeons. Most P2 and P3 xeon's sold with L2 512kb. Well i like to an Athlon mp far against and L2 2mb P4 xeon and a L2 512kb northwood.

Hey, I'll gladly slap all that hardware together and run some benchmarks, if you can provide the hardware.

lol. not bad well if there itanium vs. Athlon MP. Itanium would smash it to pieces.

And then we'd have to include the Sledgehammer. Or has everyone already forgotten it?

Im talking about today buddy. Hammer is in Q2 2002

Itanium is now. only the Alpha and the Sparc3 is able to take it on. IA64 is the next phase in desktop computing even AMD will switch to IA64.

great I can get an AthlonMP at PC progress. And I can get a Xeon 1.7 at Acme Micro. Where are they selling Itaniums?? Or did you mean a couple of months by "today"?

Desktop computing... yet sooo far away even from power users. I want an analysis of the price/performance ratio on that please.

Also there wasn't even a benchmark for dual 1.4 normal T-Birds. Tom's article stated that they wouldn't run with differently clock T-Birds. There was no mention of dual 1.33's or 1.4's.

there is no dual northwood yet...

>Itanium would smash it to pieces.

Maybe
Maybe not. Particularly on 32 bit apps (but then, why buy a 64 bit CPU for 32 bit apps...)

In any case, we're not likely to see much on Itanium from Tom, Anandtech, aces, etc., until Q4, because these sites generally aren't interested if it <A HREF="http://www.zdnet.com/enterprise/stories/linux/0,12249,2768444,00.html" target="_new">doesn't do Windows.</A>

64bit cpu's aren't going to suddenly take over, if technology can't do what todays technology can and do the new stuff it will have a hard time being adopted right away.

Oh and let's not forget price the Athlon MP's are selling for around $250 while the best price for a Xeon 1.7 is $600! Now I work in 3D Studio Max R3 for presentation models, and that benchmark makes my mind up very quickly.

Whoops, but it'll have to be A4 then, and we'll have to see how it does.........

It's raining outside, and my lawn has grown a foot overnight!

Errr....kelder...someone who is still learning to create new folders shouldn't be worried about 64 bit units. Once you learn to create a new folder then maybe you can move onto wordpad....and then MSpaint...

"Cock-a-doodle-do" is what I say to my girl when I wake her UP in the morning!!

Oh grow up. Do you actually know Kelder? You sound like a little kid with nothing better to respond with so you start throwing out comments you know aren't true. Your comments lately are about the equivelent of "Oh yeah, well I screwed your mom last night.. so there."

Grow up!

Bwahahahaha.....did your boyfriend squeeze your testicles a little to hard? Man, what are you freakin about? Besides Kelder knows exactly what I'm talking about. So lame off.

Thankyou for proving my point.
