Tench,
RE:"you should call up AMD and tell them that SPEC isn't a valid benchmark"

I haven't seen any of the hardware sites using it lately. I guess they don't need a free P4 to test.

SPEC is a valid benchmark, but only when evaluating a complete development/production environment. Running SPEC using the Intel compilers to evaluate P4 for use in an MS compiler development/production environment is not valid.

Dear Tench:

They already know that. They know its just another marketing myth. That's why real customers test them with real configurations, real data, real applications and real workloads. There is no hiding of poor performance there and marketing becomes "So what?" to them.
