RE:"I think Anand is just trying to expand his benchmarking suite. I'm glad he's using SPEC. It showed the Athlon system was lagging the PIII because of a lack of memory bandwidth and Via's chiset. Even if the P4 blows away the Athlon in SPECfp it still has to prove itself in the other benchmarks." Shawn, DO NOT BE FOOLED. It is much more than a coincidence that SPEC scores are just now showing up in Anands benches. We have known, thanks to Elmer, that the P4 will do well in certain SPEC benchmarks. I said 9 months ago that if P4 won't bench well on the traditionally used benchmarks that Intel will simply change the game. It's already happening. Intel, through Anand and probably some more sites is changing the rules of the game. If I am wrong, I will gladly admit it when P4 is announced. Expect a lot of SPEC on Intels webpage. The one other, more widely used benchmark, will be Quake III. So look for SPEC and Quake III to be showcased when P4 is launched... OTOH, Toms site probably won't be bamboozled... Jim
