DIEP is a 32 bits application (i cross compiled it for Itanium1). extrapolated a 1.3Ghz I2 is the same speed like a K7 at 1.6Ghz for DIEP. That doesn't include scaling. If we go scale that to 16 processors, then the K7 with 600MB/s bandwidth from the 760MP chipset, is already long gone of course. So the I2 is a real good processor and scales very well, also for 32 bits applications which aren't even optimized for the I2 *anyhow*. cross compiling for the I2 worked at once. >this is a 64 bit processor and i doubt a 32 bit application can be ported to it >without huge effort and significant loss of speed. i'm not even sure whether >there is a 64 bit version of windows ready yet.as far as i know to begin with >this 64 bit processor wil be significantly slower than the fastest 32 bit >processors. > >On June 23, 2002 at 17:15:00, Vincent Lejeune wrote: > >>I wonder why Chessbase said that the computer will play Kramnik will be a 8-CPU >>machine, this one seems to be better : >> >>http://www.vr-zone.com/#2457 >> >>"Intel >> >>Intel will officially introduction of its Itanium 2 processor and its first >>16-way multiprocessing chip set in the next few weeks.
