Re: Why don't you link to this "older" software that you are referring to. .

Remember, that despite Intel having "coaxed" everyone into looking at little other than the subset of floating point operations that are particularly memory intensive, most code is integer code.

Higher numbers are better
Athlon 1.2  4.37
Athlon 1.0  3.62
PIII   1.0  2.83
P4     1.5  1.98


The RC5 performance test is almost exclusively a measure of Integer performance. Factors such as memory bandwidth, FSB frequency or cache performance don't affect the score and as you can see, the Pentium 4 isn't doing good at all. Even with an optimized RC5 client it is doubtful that the Pentium 4 will be able to do much in purely integer tests like this one.
