Chuckles - re: "you have one hell of a long shot on your hand. jc-news.com ..."According to Daiki, here are the scores of the Coppermine (at 600MHz, presumably with 133MHz bus and PC800 DRDRAM) in spec95: specint_base specfp_base 29 25

Why ?

AMD's benchmarks show a 600 MHz Athflop with specint_base 27.5 vs. the 29 for the "JC reported" Intel Coppermine .....

and AthLoff specfp_base of 22 vs 25 for the "JC reported" Intel Coppermine .

All refer to 600 MHz operation.

If true - and I'm not staking any claim to those numbers - that would put the Coppermine AHEAD of the AthFlop. - in Integer AND Floating point.

Helluva achievement - for a 5 year old core, eh ?

>If the rumors from JC's have any merit, you have one hell of a long shot on your hand.<

Ah, those pesky rumors. But how much profits did AMD make this quarter from their benchmarks?
