Elmer, it is important to note that in the test where Coppermine 600EB got 12% improvement in SPECint95_base and 20% in SPECfp95_base over a Katmai 600B, both processors were benefitting from the SSE optimizations. In my opinion, we'd see similar percentages if optimizations weren't used. Coppermine is indeed faster than Katmai clock-for-clock. Tenchusatsu

Elmer, here are the Athlon scores from the AMD foils at MPF: Athlon 700 (current system) --------------------------- SPECint95_base: 32 SPECfp95_base: 24 Athlon 700 (enhanced system) ---------------------------- SPECint95_base: 35 to 37.5 SPECfp95_base: 34 to 41 Current system: Production level reference motherboard Rev. B w/ AMD-750 chipset, PC100 SDRAM, Windows NT 4.0 SP5. (Motherboard is not commercially available, although I doubt that makes a difference.) Enhanced system: "with 266 bus and projected compiler and prefetch optimizations" I think the "266 bus" implies that the new Irongate chipset with DDR SDRAM will be used here. Tenchusatsu
