Re: "Second, if Intel is cheating on Winstone 99, I trust that Herr Uberclockermeister will catch them in the act. He's done it before...."

Funny that you agree that Intel has been caught "cheating" on benchmarks before, given your position.

I'm not too worried about Winstone 99. If AMD's shortcoming is the cache speed (and you make a pretty good argument that it isn't), then products arriving shortly from AMD will solve things. If the problem derives from Winstone 98 and now Winstone 99 devoting progressively more attention to 32 bit vs 16 bit code (the latter where the K6 core really excels), then fair enough. I have no doubt that K7 will correct this "shortcoming" in the K6. I also have no doubt that MHz and price are what sells--not benchmarks (even though they're good for bragging rights).
