Cirruslvr, <Kap - RE: "Far fetched? I think so, but amusing nevertheless." Sorry to put a dent in your theory:> The design/process problems on CuMine are now abundantly clear but I would not discount the additional instruction theory at all. Remember, AMD had first silicon on Athlon about a year back and the first MDR article on K7 is about 9 months old giving Intel plenty of time to incorporate some additional stuff into CuMine. Also, I have heard many times in private gatherings that there are some FP improvements. However, none of the folks coughed out what they are. Because the basic PIII architecture is a low octane one compared to K7, I didn't bother to press for details. Yes, Intel may reduce the gap on couple of irrelevant benchmarks but at any clock speed PIII architecture not strong enough to stand against Athlon. Chuck
