Its a nice pic but real world results will vary for sure. There will be cases where the Pheonix is actually much faster still and other cases where its not that much faster than the 060.
For *optimal* performance, Im guessing Phoenix will require custom code.
There are some instructions added to its instruction set that can be useful but wont have any impact on old code.
Still, as early benchmarks suggest, it will have the 060 well beaten in most cases which is quite an achievement and really something a lot of us have been dreaming about since the early Natami days. ;-)
