Elmer you talking about non-real benchmarks.. And as INTEL always told us consumers it is FP that really matters (remember the K6 days). Opening up a Excel speadsheet 3 ms faster cannot be noticed by anyone.

FP on the other hand affect 3D rendering/Video Gamers. So people who need to save time are going to Athlon.

RDRAM and Integrated Cache is the final evolution of P6

Athlon is just getting started, with TBird, Spitfire, then Mustang(a newer core), then MP on single Die (K8)

You have to give AMD allot of credit for these ventures, considering how small the Co. is.
