So when you are comparing them at the same frequence you >are not doing the right thing. Yeah, it's an oversimplification of the issue. There are other things to consider, too, like uops vs. x86 ops, and the P6's "extra" load/store units. I think the argument got pretty far off-topic. But I still think that saying the P6's pipes are more full than the P5's pipes without proof is pretty ballsy, for the reason I explained. -Tom
