Fin,

Here is an exchange I had with Paul about 18 months ago, which sums up a lot of my views.

Paul,
Re:"Why is Intel's Coppermine BETTER and FASTER than AMD 's AthWIPE ?"

I've been explaining this to you for 2 years now. Memory latency is critical for many benchmarks, including SPEC. The low latency L2 on Coppermine gives it a big advantage over Athlon.

Unfortunately for Intel, low latency CPU functions tend to limit clock speed. Is this the case with Coppermine?
