<You seem to be avoiding the question. If what you say is correct, and a 2GHz Pentium 4 actually is predominately run at 1GHz, then how come it can beat a Pentium III at 1GHz by vast margins. >

Someone who has a P4 box (I don't) can try this code. My guess is that 2.0GHz P4 will run this code slower then 600MHz PIII Coppermine. Maybe much slower.

#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

extern int sum;

int main()
{
int i;
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );
for( i = 0; i < 1000000;i++ )
switch ( rand() % 100000 ){
case 0: sum += 1;
case 1: sum += 2;
case 2: sum += 3;
...
case 99999: sum += 100000;
}
return sum;
}
