Jim, <Are you aware Anands credibility could go out the window with this?> Over a year ago, when AMD introduced Athlon, they were more than happy to show off their SPEC scores, including the SPECfp which supposedly demonstrated Athlon's superior FP performance over Pentium III. Then Intel came back with Coppermine and newer compilers and retook the SPEC lead (even SPECfp), and AMD has been much more timid over publishing SPEC scores these days. So before any AMDroid goes crying foul over the use of SPEC scores, he should realize that SPEC used to be one of AMD's favorite benchmarks for showing off their Athlon. Tenchusatsu
