Re: All the EVENTS, BENCHMARKING, etc. are 95% MAD dominated Which correlates with the performance of the two processors. On almost any code that hasn't been carefully hand tweaked to work around P4's fussy architecture, Athlon's robust architecture provides better performance. Intel's design teams always start from "if the compiler will produce perfect code, how do we design the chip." While AMD's design teams start from "what's the best design to run the code produced by real world compilers." The result: AMD's chip is better on 95% of software, while Intel's chip is better on the 5% (or less) of the code out there that has been tweaked to be "perfect" for that particular chip. By the time more than 5% of the code base is suitable for a given Intel architecture, Intel is shipping a new design, with new weaknesses, that needs different optimizations to perform well. And that's why AMD's chips are now, and will continue to be, better for 95% of the software out there, while Intel's chips are great for a handful of specially optimized programs and mediocre on everything else. watch.impress.co.jp
