KZNerd - Re: "Regardless of who said what, I think that AMD will never be able to mess with Spec as much as Intel has. They put huge resources into compiler work to get Spec to look good on Intel processors back when they were fighting the RISC guys. They even went so far as to design a conditional move instruction into PII just so they could use it in Spec. Whatever manipulation AMD has done to get good Spec numbers is far smaller that what Intel has done. After all, AMD just doesn't have the resources to throw at benchmarking that Intel has." Thank you for providing such insight. By the way - doesn't AMD's K7 have a CMOV (Conditional Move) instruction ? Paul
