Re: "How about real numbers to back up the SpecInt95 comparisons? A report on another website says the Xeon was 23.6 and the K7 was ~25 based on an eyeball extrapolation. The best published Xeon result @550MHz is actually 24.4 not 23.6. That would make the difference only 1/2 what AMD claimed at ~2.5%. It is my guess that a Coppermine will match or slightly beat an equally clocked K7 in Integer performance. We will know before long."

Elmer, you're getting confused. The website you're referring to took a published Xeon performance number and added 5% to it! You're then comparing this to another published Xeon performance number and saying you're not impressed with the K7 result?!

Are you SURE this is the argument you want to make?
