The Inquirer put up a very interesting table with the indexes of SPECint2000 and SPECfp2000 shown by Itanium 2 compared with the indexes of other processors:

But the most interesting thing about it is the fact that the guy who sent this table to The Inquirer works at… Fab 25! This is an AMD factory in Austin (Texas), which is now focusing on flash memory and Duron processors and by the end of the year should switch to flash only. And what does Itanium have to do with it, I wonder? :)
