Saturn, Yup integer takes 1 cycle and FPU 3. AMD essentially tripled the number of FPU execution units to beget the AThlon. But i think in lots of "real world" apps the number of integer instructions far exceed FP instructions - except in a gaming type of environment. Intel is ruuning the integer at 2x FPU speed to kick butt on general windows type stuff. We still don't know how many FPU execution units they have. If they have 6 lets say then you may have a true kick ass machine. Of course the die size would be huge!!! Based on what little we know willy seems a winner. regards, Kash
