Cirrus - <fp would still be slower than Athlon, int is right in-line.>

Next opportunity to see some Cumine spec numbers is at product launch. I am figuring since i820 is either known to be or potentially delayed well before Cumine launch, that the folks in charge of such things will have other options handy so the numbers will be available one way or the other. Just my unwashed opinion.

Re: ""Altogether memory-hungry applications profit from it substantially, to SPECfp95 become for example 20 per cent faster, SPECint95 by 12 per cent."

"IF" these numbers are correct, Intel's SpecInt95 numbers would be ~5% faster than Athlon's at 550MHz, and I would expect the gap to widen as MHz increases. Larger on-die L2 versions would show an even wider gap and scale even better.
