Elmer - RE: "Ahhhhh Earth to Cringe. Earth to Cringe. CuMines and Athlons execute the same binaries..... Athlon has prefetch just like CuMine...." But Elmer, in your post you made it sound that if any company has two processors available they should test performance with their compiler. Are we going to be seeing PIII benchmarks using an HP compiler soon? Heck, maybe Sun will test the add-on K6-2 using a Sun compiler. What makes you so sure Compaq or any company can even do this test on an AMD processor with an Intel UNRELEASED software product? How do you know Intel is cool with this? If the situation continues to be the same AFTER the compiler is released you may have a point with your Compaq example. BTW, did you ever realize Compaq does NOT have any Athlon scores posted? Your original argument holds no water. 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.
