Mike, I had to go look up an old review, to find just the ideal "benchmarking organization" to come up with "more realistic test methodologies" for Intel. From last's year's VC820 writeup in sharkyextreme, which could be retitled Intel suckupextreme, as near as I can tell: But did we notice a difference when multiple applications within Win98 were launched back to back, or when Win98 decides it needs to reorganize its swap file right as you round the corner in a Quake3 multiplayer game and expose yourself to enemy fire? Absolutely. (from sharkyextreme.com All Intel has to do is get Craig "Mako" Campanaro to make up some "realistic" situation where he's hacking away at Word and Excel and Quake at the same time, and tells us what he "notices", without any quantification. Of course, Intel's got this other problem coming up, with the deprecated x87 instructions in Willy, that's probably going to make a lot of existing games look sick, so a certain amount of care is required there. Lots of benchmark massaging coming up, I'd guess. Cheers, Dan.
