Re: "Even when optimized for SSE2, it barely beats out an equivalently clocked Athlon" You're right! That 558 SPECFP score Intel posted was just a eyelash ahead of the 311 the Athlon scored. I know it was a squeaker but by my count the P4 won by a hair! Re: "As to integer scores, just look at rc5 (ROL (and for that matter most shifts and rotates) is used by many communication programs (speeds up (inter)net, HAH!). P4 is slower than any other CPU. Extrapolating from the 1 GHz P3 score, a 733 MHz Celeron would outrun it possibly even a 700 MHz one. A lowly 600 MHz Duron would also send it to the cleaners. Ah to be wasted by the low end of the competitors offerings. Shame on Intel. The new catch phrase will be BAP4W4 or BAP4WF (Buy a P4, What for? (a hood ornament?))" Thanks for that truly coherent post. It's clear now how the P4's highest integer scores ever posted means nothing when compared to the mighty 600MHz Duron and whatever it was you were trying to say! Do come back when your medication kicks in. EP
