Re: "Gladly! HP says that Merced performance compared to their PA8500 @440 MHz chip is 90% for integer and 85% for
floating point.
Benchmark.....Athlon 650...PA4500 440...Merced
SPEC95BaseInt-----29.4---------30.7-----------27.7
SPEC95BaseFP-----22.4---------48.7-----------41.4"

OK now what does this mean?

Is it Merced executing PA4500 binaries in HP binary compatability mode?

Is it Merced running Merced binaries at 440MHz?
