Re: "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. " You missed the point. It's not me saying so. Compaq hates Intel yet they chose Intel processors for their workstations. Why? They posted benchmarks that show Intel's CuMine to beat even their flagship processor the Alpha. Why? They didn't they use Athlon, why? Compaq says the CuMine is the fastest integer processor in the world. Why didn't they say the Athlon is the fastest? Dell says Intel is the fastest. Fujitsu says Intel is the fastest. You and Stevie say Athlon is the fastest but no company seems to agree with you. I just named three companies other than Intel that say CuMine is the fastest and they said so with official benchmarks published in an industry accepted manner. Please name one single company other than AMD who says that the Athlon is the fastest. Mani and Stevie INC. doesn't count. EP
