Re: "In what, SPECfp and SPECint? Where are the benchmarks???
What happened to not liking it when others talked about foils?
Has Cuontimemine brought an about-face in your attitude towards unannounced processors?"

My point exactly. <G>

Re: "you should be reminded that AMD ran their benchmarks on a non-Athlon optimized compiler. "

How do you know this when AMD has refused to provide details of the vapor-marks they showed on their foils?

Re: "so what Intel will probably do is use SSE as someone earlier stated. "

I expect they will. What's wrong with that?
