Scumbria, <<<It is difficult to retroactively falsify benchmarks. OTOH, most of the P4 benchmarks released by Intel have been carefully constructed to make P4 look better than it would otherwise.>>> It is worse than an IQ test. At least a IQ test purports to measure something called intelligence. The only problem is that we don't really have a definition of intelligence. The same is true for benchmarks. It measures what it measures - benchmarks. So Intel constructs benchmarks that makes the P4 look better. How shocking? Mary
