Elmer - RE: "Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for Business Winstone99 and Coppermine wins." At a higher MHz. "Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for High End Winstone* 99 NT 4.0 and Coppermine wins." At a higher MHz. "Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for 3D WinBench 99 Transform and Lighting and Coppermine wins." Even at lower MHz. "Athlon Wins the 3DMark* 99 MAX Synthetic CPU 3D Test" Of course... "Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for WinBench* 99 FPU WinMark* 99 Win98 and Coppermine wins." At a higher MHz. "Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for CPUmark 99 Win98 and Coppermine wins." At a higher MHz. "By AMD's own choice of benchmarks.... Coppermine... the fastest x86 processor in the Universe" At a higher MHz. If you get the subtle* hint, Coppermine is faster as long as its MHz is higher than the Athlons. We know the Athlon's core is MHz-friendly. The question is can Intel continue to keep up with AMD in MHz??? (Never thought I'd say that.) As Tom said in his original Athlon review, Intel must HOPE AMD has the manufacturing problems it had in the past. Keep the HOPE up! BTW, the Athlon's performance is at the base. Coppermine's is at the top.
