The numbers are indeed a *tiny* bit higher . But even a 200 mmx would be more than sufficient for Desktop publishing. I don't think any user would notice the differance between "100 fps scrolling in Office" and "107 fps scrolling in Office"

Get the point...Integer calculations are not as important as fpu ones.

Offcourse that whas the strongest point of the K6 in the past, because with fpu it could not keep up. But I don't see the advantage of beeing able to run desk top publishing programs at 5 % faster than K6 when the game and overall performance is *way* lower.

I don't even think K6 will be very popular under Nt, nore will the Celeron . They are both targeted at lower end and middle end market.
Maybe even the Zub-Zero market.
