Dan, Re: I put more stock in them than the other leaked benchmarks, because spec isn't something a random hardware site can run.

With the c't comments I think we can be fairly certain that the leaked numbers are the "official" ones from Intel. Unless Intel is downplaying here (which I doubt) we have a pretty good indication of what P4 performance on heavily optimized "application" will be. C't mentioned its own Mandelbrot benchmark (fractal rendering) which was very slow according to them -- that means legacy FP performance must be really bad. They also mentioned the Swim benchmark from the SPECfp2000 suite which "explodes" on the P4 (their words). Do you know if this some kind of bandwidth benchmark?

BTW, I just reread the c't article and noticed that according to ITspace AMD reached 23% market share in Germany in the first quarter.
