I wonder about this slide:

SPECweb®99_ssl (Zeus) 4P Servers
They have Itanium 2 1.5 GHz listed. I am a little confused by this. Is this Madison?

Thanks to Joe -

As I predicted, Hammer fails to match Intel SPEC performance despite their promises.

Opteron SPECint_base 1095
Intel 3.0GHz P4 1152
Intel 3.06GHz P4 1099

Opteron SPECfp_base 1122
Intel 3.0GHz 1202
Intel 3.06GHz 1059

Many other benchmarks where Opteron looks very good. We'll need some time to digest this
