Elmer Re <<No need to apologize to me.>> Had no intention of it. You posted one benchmark, there are many others, perhaps you have not seen them. If you think Coppermine is clearly faster than Athlon, so so be it. You do not make every body's buying decision, sorry. I know it is not true and so everybody else :) And I know for the application that I use (FEA), Athlon is head and shoulder above Coppermine. No question about it. Mani

Elmer - RE: "No need to apologize to me. Apologize to Compaq, Dell and Fujitsu. They say the CuMine beats the Athlon and they said so in writing. specbench.org You can deny it all you want, but it won't make it go away. Sorry." Too bad the intelligent person looks at the the fine print and notices different compilers, which, although proper to measure pure performance, can't be used to compare processor performance on the same level. You are intelligent like I think, right? Pentium III/Xeon- the fastest X86 processor in the whole entire world, to infinity and beyond, to the googleplex power in SPEC95 running Intel's version 4.5 compiler.
