Doug -

guess SSE2 support, 1MB L2, on chip memory controller, HT links, 64-bit extensions, improved branch prediction, and completely redesigned execution units don't cut it for you? :)

Please put my statement in the context it was intended. It was in response to another poster who said that Banias couldn't scale because it was just a warmed over P3. I could have posted almost exactly the same response to him that you just did to me.

Doug, Re: completely redesigned execution units

As far as I've heard, the Opteron uses the exact same backend as the Athlon. That includes the execution units.
