Elmer - "The 667 MHz Alpha is there and posts 32.1 on SPECInt95. That places it behind HP which comes in at 34.0" Since you are focusing on Integer, check out this info (which was already posted by Dan) taken from the German magazine C't heise.de, rewritten in English by Ace's aceshardware.com - "They have that when 700mhz K7 is feed with 2MB full speed offdie caches like the current XEONs it scores a 31 on the specint95 beating even PA-8500's 30.8." According to specbench.org the PA-8500 scores a 30.8 on SPECint_95, so I assume that is the number C't is comparing the Athlon's score to. Yes, there is no such thing as a 700MHz Athlon w/full speed off die cache, but it paints an awesome picture showing what the Athlon is capable of.
