How about this one from the same page, "The yields on the Athlon (the percentage of e/marketable CPUs out of the number of CPUs produced) have been incredible. Since before the release of the K5, the Athlon is the highest yielding CPU AMD has produced for public release I am not sure how/wether he knows but interesting none the less. Mani

Cirrus and Charles - <"It'll be interesting to see how well the Coppermine stands up in this test, but if the architecture stays the same it is highly unlikely that even a 700MHz Coppermine will blow the Athlon out of the water here." "Even under NT, the overall performance of the Athlon is still greater than that of Intel's fastest. It'll take quite a bit to match the power of the Athlon 700."> This has been the speculation all along, i.e., clock for clock Athlon should outperform Coppermine. He's saying the exact same thing that everyone else, including you and Charles, is saying. So be happy! Anand agrees with you. BTW, I have said I believe it'll be close. I don't expect either one to blow out the other. We can talk more Tuesday night. PB
