Yes, we all know Intel likes to compare the Itanium to the UltraSparc.

Unfortunately, the only comparison relevant to *me* (before the 25th of
June) was w.r.t. the Alpha.

As a meteorologist, I'm mostly interested in the (SPECfp) performance on
apsi:

(www.spec.org, SPECfp2000 2nd half '01):

Dell 1.7 Ghz Pentium IV:

        apsi    base: 458       peak: 463

HP server rx4610, 800 Mhz Itanium:

        apsi    base: 342       peak: 342

Compaq DS20, 833 Mhz Alpha EV67:

        apsi    base: 543       peak: 544

Yes, I know Alpha is dead - but that's no reason to argue revisionist
history with respect to Out-Of-Order implementations.
