Pete, <I think the current SPEC benchmark in its current form is about worthless> So if Intel fails to post SPEC benchmarks, that means their processors underperform (e.g. Itanium), but if Intel does indeed post SPEC benchmarks, that means Intel is cheating (e.g. Coppermine). <Outsiders have shown that P3 is not as good as same clocked Athlon.> That's funny. All the benchmarks I've seen on the outside kind of show a dead heat between Athlon and Pentium III. Check out Tom's benchmarks of MPEG-4, destined to be the next controversial technology: tomshardware.com AMD Duron beats Pentium III at 800 MHz. Yet Pentium III beats AMD Athlon at 1 GHz. Results look inconclusive to me. (Of course, those guys at Tom's Hardware do a great job "reminding" us that Duron has better price/performance than Pentium III. But that's beside the point.) Tenchusatsu P.S. - By the way, you had a post to Elmer entitled "Dear Tench," and then rattled off about personal attacks. It took me a while before I noticed you got our handles mixed up. ;-)
