EP, Once again the lead changes hands to the benefit of consumers. Not for long though I suspect. So I guess we can therefore assume that Intel will have another product announcement instead of a release? What will the Dell web page say then? An extra 60 days? -Scot

Elmer - RE: "Excellent work AMD, congratulations. Once again the lead changes hands to the benefit of consumers. Not for long though I suspect." I suspect Anand will have an Athlon 850 vs. Cumine 850/866 review next week. Speaking of SPEC scores on AMD's site, here's a note AMD has on the scores - "The compilers used are the latest available compilers from Intel Corporation (Fortran 2.4 C++ version 4.0). Although the SPEC rules allow for the use of unreleased compilers, AMD has not taken the advantage of this with any kind of special compiler changes. As such, the scores shown are representative of what can be achieved by software today, but do not necessarily reflect potential future performance measurements. Comparisons between scores with released compilers and unreleased compilers are not necessarily representative of the performance differences of any single version on a different platform." BTW, where in the world did AMD get a Cumine 800??? Compaq must have loaned them one. ;)
