Re: "How about them SPEC2000fp scores for the 1GHz Athlon? Fastest ever recorded for an X86 processor" Yes but true to form, the scores were done with a Compaq compiler that is not available at this time. Has AMD no shame? Did you also notice that Dell has a 933MHz system scoring within about 3% of the 1GHz Athlon? The TTurd runs 7% higher frequency and only scores 3% higher with bigger cache and higher memory bus speed. This is superior technology? When Dell submits 1GHz CuMine scores I think you will see that despite all the "7th Generation FPU" hype and despite the claims of "just you wait until a real Athlon optimized compiler is available" and the larger TTurd cache, the CuMine has always had the fastest FPU when both used fully optimized code and both use available hardware and software. The 7th generation and superior FPU claims are being exposed as the bologna they always were. Now with the new K7 optimized compilers you guys are just running out of excuses. The fastest x86 SPEC scores ever measured with available components are still CuMine scores and clock for clock they still are even with more phoney AMD scores. EP
