I bet at Xeon in 0.09 being there first. As you can see at specint crafty at 64 bits opteron is 1562 rated. this is just 1.8Ghz opteron. I expect for other programs when compiled 64 bits and with 16 GPRs and all the other features to be equally fast (having same speed difference). Fritz is assembly. In order to run in 64 bits at opteron Frans Morsch must now already be working at that as for every new processor he has to rewrite nearly the entire program. Must be hard worker that guy! I do not know whether he is busy with that now. I can ask if you want to. For most of the others it is just a simple recompile though. The work i need in diep to profit from having more bits in each register (the other advantages you get for free or are compiler issues) is not little either. It will give a few % though. When opteron is there in 0.09 it will be way faster, the chip is actually designed to be 0.09. It is however interesting to see what speed the prescott core will have in 0.09, i guess they will be sooner there. Best regards, Vincent
