Elmer - RE: "We now have official SPEC scores that show even the 440BX based systems to be faster than any SPEC scores ever published for the Athlon." At 650MHz in SPECint, but not SPECfp. PIII 700 is faster at both. And the 733 is even faster. Conclusion - Intel has a better compiler. ;) Not that there is anything wrong with that. Seriously, those numbers look good. I bet Intel feels better knowing its chip now looks better in SPEC scores compared to an AMD processor! Just don't forget the PIII seems to have hit its peak in ability to get faster in ways other than MHz. Better Athlons and AThlon platforms are coming, but hopefully before then better Athlon compilers will make the Athlon look even faster. ;) I didn't see you link to these - specbench.org and specbench.org
