Re: "I regard it as rather mind-blowing that Pentium 4 as well as Pentium III and Athlon benefited from the re-compilation immensely. It shows that the original compilation of FlasK was either done with an ancient compiler or with very strange optimizations" Well gee. Maybe other benchmarks are compiled with bad compilers too!!! Re: "Did you also forget to mention that Athlon is clock for clock just as fast as P4 on the Intel optimized flask code, or that flask may be illegal software?" Seeing as the non existent 1.2GHz DDR Athlon is 300MHz slower and maxed out on .18u while P4 has plenty of headroom left and AMD's .13u process is a year away, what is the significance? EP
