Haim,

<To be honest, I wouldn't be able to tell without taking a good look at the compiled code that is produced for the current SPEC scores. This is I haven't done for the Athelon.>

If my memory serves me right, the earlier Athlon spec numbers, not the ones from yesterday, were spit out using Intel's Spec binaries (that's why they were artificially low).

Now, would that give you a better idea of how much improvement can be made over those original numbers?

Chuck

Haim - RE: "Let me put it another way... most benchmarks (certainly including SPEC) reflect both CPU and compiler used. Don't be fooled into thinking that it's ONLY a sign of CPU strength."

The Athlon's CPU strength shows it might on the current, non-Athlon optimized SPEC scores.

And now we have an estimate of the optimized compiler Athlon (on 266MHz bus) scores and those numbers BLOW AWAY the extremely high scores JC and ACE's have on their page for "E".
