Fyo,

Re:" SPECfp : 23 --> 33.5
SPECint: 25 --> 36.4

As you can see, the K7 (err.. Athlon) may get close in integer, but it won't get ANYWHERE near the PA-RISC in floating point. And I certainly wouldn't call this 'smoking the current top dog'..."

I think you will be surprised at the effects of large amounts of L2 cache on the FPU numbers as well as running the memory system at 266Mhz.

I am not saying it will blow away the top dog but IMHO it will get close.

Maybe it will take the Cu K7's to get there.

Lets wait and see.

Regards,

Kash
