RE:"OOOPS, I forgot the link! I guess I was so unimpressed, I didn't care for the link. ;)".... I think the Coppermine benchmarks are pretty much as expected. I remember that the 486-133 could beat some Pentium 60/66 benchmarks too. Just keep in mind the CuMine has an integrated L2 cache and needs .18u to achieve 733MHZ where as the K7 has an off die L2 and soon will be loping along at 750MHZ+ on .25u... It was pretty well expected that Intel would push the Cumine above current Athlon offerings and that it would "compile" some nice synthetic benchmarks. AMD has just laid back and waited for Intel to show it's cards...Intel is scrambling, trust me... Jerry is probably laying back in his easy chair...thinking/asking...Intel, is THAT all you've got?, jajaja. Jim
