Jim,

Re: K7 benchmarks vs Coppermine

These are the log results from a CPU simulator - the MXS program.

The simulator allows you to model different CPU architectures and then run common benchmarks.

The students can even "design" their own CPU etc.

So the results are "normalized" to a given number of clock cycles.

The CPU models are pretty simplistic but are meant to show how chip architeture effects the end results.

In terms of actual relevance to the "REAL" Coppermine/K7 battle I suspect that these numbers are relatively meaningless.

Regards,

Kash J.
