RDM, "20% (Int) and 40% (FP) were for binary code Spec using 600Mhz k7 vs 550 Mhz Xeon both with 512K cache. They also showed 550 Mhz K7 that was approximately 10% less. " The key thing to note is these benchmarks are: a) without code optimizations b) without using any of the new instructions and, most importantly, c) with 1/2 speed L2 cache for K7 vs. full speed cache for PIII Assuming AMD doesn't glitch on the manufacturing side, in 3 months this baby will fly. This is beyond what rumor mill said and beyond my expectations. Can't wait to hear about Wilamette details! Chuck
