So this is the official word from Intel on SPEC performance. As was speculated, the 3.06GHz Pentium 4 does about 1100 in SPECint. Both SPECint and SPECfp fall short of the projected Hammer SPEC scores by about a hundred points; although, those scores were for a version of Hammer with 1MB of L2 cache - enough to give a sizable increase to SPEC performance.

It is likely that those Hammer scores were Peak rather than Base as Intel stresses, closing the gap slightly more.
