Windsock, ROFL Looking at those Sandra benchmarks from Via that were cited Do you actually know what Sandra does? The bandwidth benchmarks measure... well... bandwidth. Ok, so that's all clear, but do you know what the CPU benchmark does? It's specifically (completely on purpose, for reasons far beyond my comprehension) designed NOT to benefit from things like pipelining. What it does is spew out one transcendental function after another (e.g. fsin). What this has to do with "performance" is anybody's guess. It is, however, a fairly accurate way of determining clock speed (at least pre-P4 and C3). -fyo
