Kevin, here is FuchiWu-RayW-Sherlie-InvestorA's statement.

<With better architecture and more transistors than Pentium MMX, K6-200Mhz is acturally faster than Pentium MMX 233 on either 16-bit or 32-bit applications. K6-200 @$160 worths every penny that AMD asks.>

I just posted a link to benchmarks that showed his statement to be
true only under certain conditions, and false under other conditions.
FuchiWu-RayW-Sherlie-InvestorA offered no such qualifications.
In 2 tests it was faster, in 2 tests it was not. Plain and simple.
Using his methodology, I could have claimed the K6 was slower, based
on the 1 test where the Pentium won. I am simply trying to shed some
light on the selective use of benchmarks to prove anyone's point -
and blanket statements which offer no data to back them up. FuchiWu-
RayW-Sherlie-InvestorA's trademark.

I hope my response was worth your eager wait.
