INTC up 1+ in after hours. Tomorrow might be a good day. I need one!

RE:"Never mind their benchmarks. What do you think it will do on industry standard benchmarks like Spec2000? Do you think it will do well or not?" Haven't looked into it yet. What do you think...? Anyway. INTEL is saying the 1.4 Ghz Pentium-4 is 20% faster than a 1 Ghz Pentium III. That's using "their" benchmark suite which I would think is a little favorable at the very least. They would not deny it was slow on a lot of benchmarks. This probably puts it equal or worse than a 1.2 Mhz T-bird. Maybe a 1.1 Ghz T-bird...in a lot of benchmarks... Now figure in the Mustang/DDR speed up over the T-bird and let me know what you think... Jim

Elmer - RE: "What do you think it will do on industry standard benchmarks like Spec2000? Do you think it will do well or not?" One anonymous person posted on a messageboard that a 1.5GHz P4 will do 524 in specfp2000 and 502 in specint2000 with the 5.0 compiler. Of course, this IS a random person so it should be taken with a BIG grain of salt. But the numbers fit the speculation that P4 isn't too good in integer clock for clock. THe fp score seems reasonable because of SSE2. We'll soon find out for sure, although I wouldn't be surprised if you already know the numbers.
