Dunno, but it seems to me there might be some truth to the rumours Nocona/Prescott runs its double pumped ALU at half speed (or full speed 32 bit at a time) after all. Some pretty spectacular slowdowns in Sandra and Apache.
Also interesting: P4 beats Opteron in Doom3. Seems like Doom3 really dislikes high(er) latency of Opterons registered RAM, because otherwise identical A64's spank it silly in the same test.
