RE:"Jim, you claimed Intel wouldn't dare use Industry standard benchmarks. They did and won every one of them. The claims of compiler tweaks are pure BS."... Those weren't my words. I said Intel will use some benchmarks optimized for Intel chips...I haven't examined all the benchmarks closely, yet, though. We all know about Winstone... It does appear that Intel has done a good job with the CuMine and a wide array of benchmarks. Just as you said they would. Now, where can I buy some i820 mammyboards and some RAMBUS ram? The fact there are still no P-IIs over 600, no RAMBUS and no i820 motherboards on pricewatch this may be another "Athlon launch". How much is a i840 motherboard? Do I need one?
