Jim - They have been posted. As was pointed out, these are not benchmarks, but relative comparisons. PB.

Jimmy McPanic - Re: "At the same clock the Athlon (550) is 46% faster than the PeeIII (550) in floating point, 40% faster in 3D and 9% faster in integer. " Old news - these are the SAME DIRK-MARKS that SCUMMYDUMMYBRia posted 2 1/2 weeks ago. And to EDUCATE YOU - these are NOT BENCHMARKS ! These are AMD's relative performance ratings of the Athlate to the Pentium III on various "benchmarks" with rather poor documentation. Maybe you should re-post AMD's 350 MHz K6-2 benchmarks - also on their Web Site - from last year that UNEQUIVOCALLY PROVED that the 350 MHz K6-2 was faster than a 400 MHz Pentium II. Those Benchmarks sure blew Intel out of the water ! Paul
