I'd have to take a look at it, but there is a degree of interest being generated at JC Labs. I'd love to have someone verify how encompassing this particular task is (for example, rc5 is really strong on the K7, but the characteristics of its code are found almost nowhere else on the planet, so it is valid as a benchmark only for what it does).

I think that's going a bit far there. There are plenty of real world tests at which the Athlon is not superior. Just because a test has optimized code or happens to do a lot of data transfer does not make it not real world.

Nope, that's Mani's job, remember? <g>
