Elmer--more evidence for your point that Intel will run new software faster: "Fact is, things are going Intel's way. This week, Open magazine tested Intel's latest C/C++ compiler, the piece of software that turns programmers' code into executable software. This is exactly where Intel's claims will live or die -- if the company itself can't produce software that makes good use of the new features of the Pentium range, then nobody else has a chance. "The results bore up everything that Intel claims: the magazine's own benchmark software performance improved by between 30 percent and 50 percent. This more than wiped out the advantages AMD has enjoyed; its chips run around 20 percent faster than comparable Pentiums, but not with this code. Of course, it's always open to AMD to produce a compiler that does this sort of aggressive optimization for the Athlon, but for now it looks as if Intel is back on course." zdnet.com.com Craig
