<Jim: The benchmarks that "matter" seem to evolve to favor the Intel chips strength.> They sure do and I attribute this to Intel's greatest strength: Realizing where the future lies. Intel predicted (or guess, if you prefer) that there would be an increased demand for FP and 32bit with it's P5 and P6 cores. Intel realized the need to add SIMD instructions, both with MMX and SSE. Now, Intel clearly wasn't the only company doing this (and I'm not referring to AMD - by all accounts, 3DNow! design started later than SSE design), but they did it. Sure, the benchmarks migrated in that direction, but I believe that has more to do with a real change in the programs users run. 3D games, MP3 decoding and now DVD / DivX / MPEG encoding. -fyo
