Re: "Too bad Cumine's somewhat significant advantage with the pre-fetched SPEC scores can't hold up in other applications." That phoney claim was made by another regular here on this thread but he was to gutless to post this website which contridicts that claim. He quoted this to support his FP argument but "forgot" to mention the CuMine's superior integer performance. jc-news.com (referencing) ix.de Coppermine-733 specint_base95 = 32.8 Coppermine-733 specfp_base95 = 19.5 Athlon-750 (on Irongate C6) specint_base95 = 32.5 Athlon-750 (on Irongate C6) specfp_base95 = 24 Here the German website ran both the CuMine and Athlon using the same non-prefetch compiler. As you can see the CuMine beat the higher clockspeed Athlon in Integer. Clearly CuMine relies heavily on Pre-Fetch for FP as the Athlon wins without it. What we need to see is both a CuMine and Athlon using Pre-fetch. EP
