Re: "Would you consider coppermine still being faster, if Intel were to tweak their compiler to allow portions of SpecFP in SIMD mode.. cause there are some rumblings this will happen.... "

I expect Intel will do this at some point, however if that was the only way Intel could lead on any benchmark I would consider it bogus. Let me turn the question around, if Intel leads in SpecInt95, would you consider it to have the fastest chip, regardless of SpecFP?

Sometime back I posted that I had heard a source high up inside Intel say that CuMine will be virtually neck and neck with Athlon in SpecInt and only a few % behind in FP, clock for clock. With dramatically lower cost (in my estimation) that should be pretty good.
