Re: "Did you notice that while SPECint scales almost linearly, SPECfp doesn't? In SPECfp, the 600 and 733MHz Dell systems which use i820 and DRDRAM perform much better than the 650 and 700MHz systems which use BX and PC100. So much that so that 600MHz system has a much higher score than the 700MHz system. I guess this is one of the few benchmarks which show the capabilities of the i820/DRDRAM combo." I didn't see that but it doesn't surprise me. Also your comment about the i820 brings into question the claims that prefetch is the sole reason for the jump in FP benchmarks. Imaging how the 512K, 1Meg and up L2 versions will perform! EP
