RE:"Meanwhile AMD likes to pick and choose which benchmark results to publish. (Why SPEC2000fp and not SPEC2000int, AMD?) Ever wonder why AMD was trumpeting SPEC benchmark results all throughout 1999, only to become very silent on the issue in 2000?" I do not make the rules, just try to interpret the facts. Fact is that Intel has a whole lot more influence on benchmarks than AMD...AND I would expect Intel to use benchmarks that make their chips look good. I don't really have a problem with this as long as the benchmarks are real world...not some esoteric thing... If their chips really are faster...so be it... Jim
