Just trying to help you find the answers to your question, but it's looking good so far IMO. Milo

Ali, Anand stated unambiguously that he was using a 1ghz Athlon for the Spec comparisions. It would have been better if he'd stated it more clearly in chart labeling though. Right below the chart you cite, on page 10: Intel’s current fastest setup is the i840 with the Pentium III 1GHz, and the 1GHz Athlon on the AMD 760 has no problem trampling all over that solution. A combination of the new 266MHz FSB and its PC2100 DDR SDRAM provide for this 25% performance lead. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1344&p=10 Earlier, on the linpack scores: While it may be hard to get anything out of the above graph at first sight, keep in mind that all of the blue lines represent the Intel Pentium III 1GHz while the two green lines (one dark one light) represent the Athlon 1GHz. anandtech.com I wonder if Anand knows what he's getting into with the rat's nest of compiler flags in spec. Intel's whole compiler operation seems to be devoted to this, and it's easy to get flummoxed. It'd be nice for comparison's sake if the spec numbers were runnable with some Intel-independent compiler like Microsoft or Gnu, but I don't imagine that is in the cards. Oops, this is the wrong thread, here comes Elmer. Cheers, Dan.
