As reported at The Register
During his keynote, Intel's Greg Fister boasted about McKinley's great potential to crush rival RISC systems. And he had figures to prove it.
Fister unveiled benchmarks that showed Itanic roasting what he described as "one of our leading enterprise contenders", in the form of a BBC Acorn computer.
In both I/O and practical web-surfing, the next-generation IA-64 processor bested what Fister described as "the plucky British 8-bit". The 6502-based Atom lost out, in some cases by wide margins. Itanium, he predicted, "would render the BBC an also-ran in the data center. It's got a long way to fall," he said.
"And the BBC hasn't thought about scalability features, which have been built into IA-64 since day one," he added.
"And my god, look at those blocky graphics!"

[well I though it was about time we had something new :-]
