fyo - <Note also the massive increase in SPECfp, which when coupled with a 133MHz FSB and Rambus DRDRAM could well give the CuMine almost exactly the same SPECfp as the Athlon.>

I believe you are for the most part addressing a brick wall. The Athlon is a revolutionary chip that has no equal in the universe.

Seriously, I believe folks on the thread are trying to compare K63 performance relative to its addition of on-die-cache, and extrapolating that Coppermine will exhibit the same lackluster performance gains. This is a dangerous assumption, IMHO. The P6 core is a different animal from the K6.
