Jim,

The numbers appear to come from a simulation. The benchmarks they used were SPEC which fit into the smaller L1 cache of Coppermine, allowing for Coppermine to have almost the same cache hit rate as K7.

Without knowing any of the details of their simulation it is hard to draw any conclusions. Some of the benchmarks show K7 being faster, and some show Coppermine being faster. I wouldn't try to infer anything from this because it is probably just some junior class project trying to attract attention.

I might have to go across the street and whoop on some of those Stanford boys to clean up their act. (Maybe I'll do lunch with Chelsea too.)
