This is absurd. We're talking about two products here, the PII and the PII/Xeon. You can't assume the PII/Xeon is a PII and expect to be understood. Second, this is what I'm arguing with you about: * You say a PII/300 is "only" 1.41 times as fast as a PPro/200 because of the L2 cache. Why don't you simply quote numbers for a PII/200 so the ratio of the core clock speed to the front side bus speed is the same? That's the only scientific way to do this without doing a tremendous amount of extra work. * You say the PII/400 isn't nearly 2 times as fast as a PPro/200 because of the L2 cache. Now, if the PII/300 is 1.41 times as fast, and you get perfect scaling with a PII, why isn't the PII/400 over 1.8 times as fast? 1.8 is damn near 2... -Tom
