rod, re:<ZERO compiler vendors provide those optimizations> Please learn to read, you simply turn OFF Pentium 'optimizations.' BTW, Dreamworks is developing future games in K6-3D optimized versions. Desktop graphics is far faster on AMD K6. Witness BAPCO real world benchmarks (i.e., not a string of multiply instructions in a loop) run on identical Intel mmx-233, k6-233 and Cyrix PR233 systems Intel AMD Cyrix ----- ----- ----- Windows 95 Benchmarks Desktop Graphics 272 307 327 Desktop Presentation 227 240 264 Desktop Publishing 210 230 238 Windows NT Benchmarks CAD 174 188 191 Presentation 166 214 193 PC Today Online 11/5/97 pctoday.com BTW, you're right Spreadsheets and Word Processing also faster on K6, but these are not based on floating point. Real world performance benefits little from an Intel FPU that needs 5 clock cycles just to get started and an MMX implementation that needs 50 clock cycles. Petz
