Mike, I 6x86 did very well on Excel benchmarks, even though Benchmarks have a lot of floating point operations. The difference between Excel and and pure floating point benchmarks, on which Cyrix does poorly is the mix of instrucions. In Excel, you don't have one floating point instruction following another one. There are a lot of integer calculations calculating offsets of cells. So by the time you retrieve the next floating point number to be used in the next calculation from it's cell, CPU is done with the previous calculation. In this environment, Cyrix does well. Joe
