Elmer - RE: "The fact is that based on available silicon and available compiler technology, CuMine beats Athlon in both INT and FP when the best available hardware and the best available compiler technology for each device is used." Can you show me some real world benchmarks that parallel that statement? BTW, when you reply to a post that was written with fixed font, could you uncheck the option when you reply? It makes the post a whole lot easier to read because the reader doesn't have to scroll. Thanks.

Dear Elmer: None of those were on a BX chipset using 4.0 with 256MB PC100. They were also using what appears to be a 840 with Dual RMBS PC800 DIMMS. SPECbaseFP uses SPEC Specified switches. They seem to have been allowed more latitude than what I thought should be allowed given what I read at their site. Peak is allowed to have different switches per section. None of those runs use a non Intel FORTRAN compiler. Here is a page for a 600MHZ Pentium III BX PC100 v2.4 spec.org If you use a 4/3 ratio to est 800 MHZ BX you get 19.8 95basefp An Athlon 600 MHZ 751 PC100 V2.4: spec.org So the page shown by AMD does not seem impossible given the platform and compiler. All the ones you show use later compiler and Rambus with (840) (Dell, Compaq, and Siemens do not say which chipset). Pete
