Jay, revisiting the AMD 760MP benchmark scores (Tyan board) Apparently we got our conclusion too early yesterday. I just checked it: Changing the FSB (and Memory) doesn't have any effect on Sandra's synthetic Drhystone (ALU) and Whetstone (FPU) scores which is obvious if you think about it. Since it's very difficult (and does take a great amount of time) to fake such a benchmark (the scaling and everything else must be perfect), I'm 90% sure that we have Palomino scores here. This would also explain the high clock-speed (1.5 GHz) which is almost impossible to achieve without special cooling and proper multiplier adjustments. Having said that, we can expect a more than 10% better synthetic performance from Palomino at any given clock-speed compares to the Thunderbird. Maybe I'm reading to much into this but I find this extremely impressive. Can't wait for official benchmarks. Andreas
