[Pw_forum] Pentium-M versus Itanium

[Miguel Martínez Canales]

Thanks everybody for your comments. I'll dwelve further into it with 
stricter tests and see what happens. I will also see what I can do with MKL 10.

By the way, Paolo, I couldn't download your benchmark. Wget told me 404 Not 
Found.

Finally, would AMD open sourcing some of their libraries affect us?

Regards,

Miguel
