Win, Re: When an Athlon beats a P4 at Quake, Quake will no longer be a "modern" benchmark.

In this case there's probably only one "modern" benchmark left: SPEC. Although I suspect that an Athlon XP combined with a VIA KT266A motherboard will beat the Pentium 4 in SPECint and SPECfp clock-for-clock. Well, I guess we'll see in two weeks. However, I guess Intel could ruin AMD's benchmark parade by releasing a 133 MHz FSB Pentium 4 ahead of schedule.
