Elmer - RE: "You make a good point but how likely are we to see a single application with different parts compiled with different compiler options?" Not very likely in x86 applications. But SPEC is a measurement of a processor's peak performance. That's why each company uses the fastest available compiler and not necessarily the one used more often to compile programs. How likely are x86 applications to be compiled perfectly optimized to achieve the best balanced performance on a given processor, given you have said Intel's compiler produces dramitic improvements on Intel processors and the K7? "Both companies have standardized on one compiler. Intel's compiler." I didn't realize that it's true for int (but not for fp). "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." Yeah, I realize that. Tit for tat and Intel will go back to having the higher score. But I'm enjoying the Athlon being on top while it lasts. ;)
