Chipguy, Re: Sun had better hope people don't get too used to discounting UltraSPARC FP benchmark scores by 20% in the time it takes to bring out SPEC CPU 2005 (or whatever the successor to CPU2k is called) or it will have deservedly backfired on them.

You're right. That would be pretty interesting. By the way, I think SPEC 2004 comes out around the end of the year. We might not have to wait long. Maybe Sun will decide that it doesn't want to submit spec scores, just like it no longer submits TPC-C.
