Muzosi, <I haven't done this test (do you think you can get any data points from within Intel on this ? I am sure someone is running HSPICE over there) but from what I understand Athlon would run circles around P4 running HSPICE.> You can look at the SPEC FAQ for a list of applications in each SPEC CPU suite: spec.org I guess the closest application to our lines of work is 175.vpr, which is briefly described as "FPGA circuit placement and routing." Looking at the scores of both Athlon 1.4 GHz and Pentium 4 1.8 GHz: Athlon base runtime: 437 Athlon runtime: 385 Pentium 4 base runtime: 427 Pentium 4 runtime: 426 Athlon seems to win here, but not on "base runtime" scores, so it's hard to say.
