Re: The market for individuals who buy computers to

Typically, in a real world application, Athlon substantially outperforms P4.

RC5 isn't a benchmark, it's an actual application that can be benchmarked, like compiling Linux, calculating Pi, etc.

And is difficult to "fix."

So it's one where Athlon looks better.

Unless the algorithm, data set, or both can be faked, P4 almost always loses.

With the current performance overkill of both AMD's and Intel's CPU lines, that may not much matter.
