"Even the 1.4GHz Pentium 4 is faster than the 1GHz Pentium III in just about everything (and in some cases, much faster), ... I dare you to find a counter-example that doesn't come from a synthetic benchmark. - wanna_bmw " I think you got everything backwards. It is a synthetic benchmark like Sandra stream where a P4 could be considered to be "much faster". Let me remind you that real software packages, the ones that cost $20-50++k and above, do not have a luxury to be re-writed and recompiled for every change in CPU microarchitecture. It is not like the toy benchmarks. I was told recently that on design tools like Verilog compiles and FPGA synthesis, the i850 P4-1400 with RDRAM is performing below P-III-800 with PC-133 SDRAM. - Ali
