PB - Re: "It would be "more fun" if Intel would have shown some benchmarks today. I hate to wait as much as the next guy." Why all the fuss about benchmarks? AMD didn't release ANY AthFLOP benchmarks before their launch - just Per cent comparisons to Intel's Pentium III. Even on the first STEALTH LAUNCH, AMD didn't post anything more than the same warmed over "percentages". AMD waited until August ~~ 2 months AFTER the AthLoff launch - to release benchmarks. That gives Intel until December to match AMD's schedule - assuming the Coppermine DOES get launched at the end of October. Paul
