Re: "Shouldn't you be asking me if Intel has no shame with their "phoney" SPEC scores???"

If that was the only example of phoney AMD scores then you would be right but a better question would be just where are any scores posted by AMD that use fully available hardware software and operating system revs?

The fastest x86 SPEC scores ever measured with available components are still CuMine scores and that holds for unavailable components as well.

I realize the AMD faithful will point to their foils to show that K7 must be faster because the foils say so but too bad for them. More cache, more execution units, higher memory bandwidth equals lower SPECFP scores. A consolation is K7 probably does run old legacy FP code a tiny bit faster but the new, revolutionary, architecturally advanced 7th generation miracle chip from AMD can't keep up with the old out dated antique from Intel.
