Windsock,
All these benchmarks, especially the ones influenced by Intel/Rambo* have become a joke. Only MHz (MHZ sells-TM McMannis) and the FPU matters. Intel did that. The Mhz race is about even and the FPU goes easily to the Athlon. The Flopper is about maxed out in MHz (maybe another 100 Mhz but the Athlon is headed much higher and to a better platform and integrated L2. I might as well mention the expensive RAMBUS the Flopper needs to get close to Athlons benchmarks.
Still, Intel must be commended for Scramblin' an old dog (P6) to new
Mhz heights.
Deal with it.


Jim
