The couple posted Athlon scores are FP only, and aren't on the face of it competitive, till you go back and compare equivalent compilers. Again, it's nice that Intel has a whole compiler operation just to generate good spec numbers, but I don't think that'd be the best way for AMD to spend its money. I remember a news on JC's saying that the 1GHz TBird had crossed the 400 mark with a compaq compiler. Since spec2000 seems effectively highly memory-dependant, AThlon will get a nice boost from DDR266 to, I would say at least 25% we're at 500, add up a 15% boost for an 1.2GHz vs 1GHz you get to 575.
