Re: "Well now, that seems to be about the numbers I have seen. Nevertheless, I think we are getting somewhat sidetracked here(or maybe I just want to get sidetracked...). What defines 7th generation technology? Or rather, what can be included in such a definition in the PC world?"

The claims made here over the last many months have been for a major leap forward in performance. Claims of "fastest processor in the world" and "a new era in performance" have been tossed about. As it appears, the MIA-thlon will barely squeak out a small lead over Coppermine in FPU and be a tossup in integer. Not the breakthru normally associated with a new generation. As always, your mileage may vary.
