Personally, I don't see this article as being biased at all.
After reading the first article on the P4 I was seriously disappointed. A new architecture with a ton of "what if's"
included. Who would be crazy enough to buy one?
With Intels latest problems, who could trust Intel's claims that new compilers and instruction sets could really make this baby shine? I certainly would not.
However, after reading Tom's latest article, it clearly shows that SSE2 can really make a hugh difference.
People were wondering if these instructions and compilers would make a difference and they do.
Going out of your way to get the MOST important question asked about this processor is a good thing.
Up until this latest article, I saw very few post of people all excited to go out and get a P4.
Note*** Tom should have run the Intel optimized Flask test with the P4 underclocked to 1.2 going clock for clock with AMD's 1.2. This would have given us a better idea of how this new architexture and memory stacks up.)
Good work Tom.
