That means the Athlon is faster in integer calculations under peak, optimal conditions AND while running unoptimized code (today's benchmarks). Looks like the best of both worlds to me. Not bad for a processor whose speed is 44% of the P4's fastest integer units You make a good point but how likely are we to see a single application with different parts compiled with different compiler options? At any rate, it looks like it's getting near time for Intel to up the ante and move up at least one more speed grade. I find it ironic you're telling me to look at the standardized SPECint score to compare processors rather than the peak, optimal score when in the past you advocated comparing PIII and Athlon scores using different compilers as opposed to the same compiler that would standardize the results Both companies have standardized on one compiler. Intel's compiler. Other people have wanted to standardize on old compilers that produce terrible code which does run faster relatively on a K7 but much slower overall compared to Intel's compiler. Intel's compilers produce dramatic improvements on both Intel processors and K7 generation processors. EP
