You are comparing an earlier version of Sysmark to Sysmark98. The correct scores are: Bapco SYSmark98 for NT: AMD 700 - 318 INTC 667 - 310 INTC 733 - 330 These processors seem very evenly matched. anandtech.com intel.com

Re: "You posted some SPEC scores where some compiler tweaks were used for Coppermine that weren't used for Athlon. Now take a look at what happens when they run the same code:Bapco SYSmark for NT: AMD 650 - 584 AMD 700 - 607 INTC 667 - 310 INTC 733 - 330 " Dan, Intel's SYSmark scores for the 733MHz Coppermine are lower than what AMD claims for the 600MHz PIII, so I think it's reasonable to conclude they are NOT the same benchmark. Besides, Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for SpecINT95 and Coppermine wins. Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for Business Winstone99 and Coppermine wins. Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for High End Winstone* 99?NT 4.0 and Coppermine wins. Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for 3D WinBench 99 Transform and Lighting and Coppermine wins. Athlon Wins the 3DMark* 99 MAX?Synthetic CPU 3D Test Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for WinBench* 99?FPU WinMark* 99?Win98 and Coppermine wins. Coppermine doesn't use compiler tweaks for CPUmark 99?Win*98 and Coppermine wins. Those who claimed Intel wouldn't dare use industry standard benchmarks for Coppermine can eat their words (Jimbo). By AMD's own benchmarks, Coppermine... the fastest x86 processor in the Universe
