hmaly, Re: "Everyone here knows Intel fixes the benches to show their processors off in the light Intc wishes to showcase. But Milo didn't fix the benches. He used an existing bench which was common to all three processors and was optimized for all three, to show running comparisons between the three."

I bet if you run iCOMP on a Pentium 4, it would show the IPC as being better than the Pentium III. But since iCOMP only compared Pentium II with Pentium MMX, Milo was making a blind comparison.

I've also showed that in Quake III, a 2GHz Pentium 4, because it scales much better than a Pentium III, may have a much better score than an equally clocked Pentium III in this benchmark. Therefore, the IPC penalty that Milo has brought up, is only being proven by making far reaching assumptions that are probably not true.
