Dear Tench: Simply using ATLAS instead of the lousy routines included more than doubles the score for Athlon, somewhat less for the P4. In just one benchmark routine, Athlon performs the task in less than a tenth of the time, yielding an improvement of 30% in the geometric mean score. It was suggested that P4 would lose to Athlon given the simple introduction of ATLAS libraries (one of those things not allowed by SPEC, curious isn't it, they allow many other optimizations that shouldn't be allowed for the same reasons). SPECfp and SPECint are just as bad by your definitions. The code has not kept up with current good programming practices against their own goals, typical usage in the scientific and engineering work places. Use Scimark instead of either. Those are real applications using current algorithms, methods and are optimized for CPU type. P4 gets walloped in this benchmark as well as in SuperPi. SPEC is an aberation, not SuperPi. Pete
