In short i conclude that you speak again about sequential access times. As usual
the random access times aren't mentionned.

This is also the case with P4.

Anyway the itanium2 processor is unworkable anyway for a single person. Only
entire compiler teams can get a program X work at it. The instruction cache is
too much of a problem to keep filled otherwise.

The opteron simply wins it based upon its Level caches which are way faster.

128KB + 1MB

And it's *not* a dsp processor unlike itanium2.
