Where have you seen benchmarks to draw that conclusion? Please post a link. That's why I said "...what is looking like pretty crappy processor performance". That implied a popular expectation, rather than a conclusion. The benchmarks will come- once Intel decides to release the processor rather than just show off demos. That's 2 demos now (for the P4- still no show in the market). Next time they should try the following: Demo processor Release processor demoed above Demo processor Release processor demoed above ... ... (you get it). Intel has very good performance now. Intel is the performance leader today so your statement hardly makes any sense. You might want to go over to the AMD website and notice the phoney benchmarks posted there using unreleased motherboards, an unreleased version of DirectX and unreleased graphics drivers. Compare them to the same benchmarks on Intel's website using released motherboards, released versions of DirectX and released graphics drivers. Also look at the only SPEC2000 benchmark AMD had the nerve to post. It's the FP benchmark using a K7 optimizing compiler and it gets blown away by CuMine. AMD was much too ashamed to post SPECINT scores. One can only imagine how bad they lost Sure Elmer, next time we order a server or CAD station, I'll request that the mfg. put Spec2000 on it instead of the usual Solid Works/COSMOS that we need. How long did Intel play the "unrealeased Intel compiler" game with Spec scores when they were originally tuning the compiler? TG P.S. You still did not answer the original question: "Elmer, is that an advance apology to what is looking like pretty crappy processor performance! (ok, if only in the first instance, as you put it.)"
