CGryba, 650 MHz Athlon/P4, faster processor on planet???

Point well-taken. However, that was a one time feat. The larger question is
whether AMD will repeat.

Going by what's on the SPEC website:

Integer Floating point
Base Peak Base Peak
Advanced Micro Devic 1.4GHz 495 554 426 458
Dell Precision WorkStation 1.80 GHz 599 619 615 631
Compaq AlphaServer 1.001 GHz 561 621 585 756

itt does seem that the 1.8GHz P4 is the best on the planet in terms of base performance
and the Alpha 1GHz the best in peak performance.

You may question the relevance of these benchmarks themselves but this is the
only benchmark for which I have seen that all CPU vendors are willing to provide data.
