Re: "I don't see how the SPECfp score can increase at least 30%, unless 64Kb of L1 cache is used or the SPECfp program is designed to take advantage of up to 256KB cache or if it is SSE optimized."

I really don't know how it is done, only that is IS done.

Re: "Also, if it is still a few % slower WITH SSE, AMD will have the highest performing x86 FPU based on SPECfp scores until Intel can come out with Willa.., IF that can even beat the Athlon!"

I can't argue with you there.
