Scumbria,

"An additional factor is that synthetic benchmarks like SPEC will favor K7 over PIII.
Winstone is one of the few benchmarks which will play so favorably for Intel."

On this thread, I have seen people claiming Winstone99 having some benchmarking problems and producing numbers unduly in favor of PIII - is that what you are referring to or is there a specific application mix that you are concerned about? Such as the FP not being tested in Winstone.

Can you expand on the reasoning behind that statement?

Thanks,
Chuck
