Re: "Dear Elmer: None of those were on a BX chipset using 4.0 with 256MB PC100. They were also using what appears to be a 840 with Dual RMBS PC800 DIMMS. SPECbaseFP uses SPEC Specified switches. They seem to have been allowed more latitude than what I thought should be allowed given what I read at their site. Peak is allowed to have different switches per section. None of those runs use a non Intel FORTRAN compiler. Here is a page for a 600MHZ Pentium III BX PC100 v2.4 spec.org. If you use a 4/3 ratio to est 800 MHZ BX you get 19.8 95basefp An Athlon 600 MHZ 751 PC100 V2.4: spec.org. So the page shown by AMD does not seem impossible given the platform and compiler. All the ones you show use later compiler and Rambus with (840) (Dell, Compaq, and Siemens do not say which chipset). Pete "

Pete, that was a Katmai version of PIII without ondie L2. The CuMine version, with ondie L2, shows dramatic improvement over it's older version. Therefore AMD's CuMine benchmarks remain unexplainably low and AMD is not helping out when they withold the compiler switches. One would want to think that this is just carelessness on AMD's part however I don't think Intel would be given the same latitude under similar circumstances.
