Re: "Something tells me Intel used SSE optimized benchmarks..."

Really???

Sysmark does not use the Intel Compiler

Winstone High End does not use the Intel Compiler

Winstone Business does not use the Intel Compiler

CPUmark* 99?Win*98 does not use the Intel Compiler

Wintune* 98 Advanced CPU Integer Test?Win*98 does not use the Intel Compiler

MultimediaMark* 99?Win*98 does not use the Intel Compiler

3D Winbench* 99?3D Lighting and Transformation Test?Win*98 does not use the Intel Compiler

3DMark* 99 MAX?Synthetic CPU 3D Speed Test?Win*98 Does not use the Intel Compiler

WinBench* 99?FPU WinMark* 99?Win*98 Does not use the Intel Compiler

This phoney excuse is so old and so worm out that I am surprise you would embarrass yourself by using it. Furthermore did you notice the RamBus chipsets show a dramatic improvement in FP going from the 440BX to the i8x0, even when both use the SSE extensions? In fact the 667MHz i840 has a 25% SpecFP95 advantage over a 700MHz 440BX based system, even though both use SSE and it's running at a 5% slower clock? Looks to me as though the RamBus technology has a lot more to do with performance improvement than any SSE extensions. Come to grips with it. CuMine beats Athlon with or without the Intel Compiler.
