Alice, Re: "Wanna have a formal pissing contest?... FP MIPS 1250/2124 -41.2%... advantage of [2.5GHz] P4 [over an Athlon 1.53GHz] is 1.2%." Wonderful. That explains the results from these benchmarks. www6.tomshardware.com Tom's Hardware shows that 2x Intel CPUs at 2.20GHz can either match or exceed the performance of 2x Athlon 1.67GHz processors in these highly floating point intensive tests - and that's with the benefit of AMD's "smart MP" dual FSB technology. anandtech.com Witness the same thing at Anandtech. The 2.2GHz Pentium 4 can at least match the 1.67GHz Athlon in floating point intensive rendering, yet you still claim that 1.53GHz from AMD can outperform 2.5GHz from Intel. However, the only way you can prove it is by taking synthetic tests, discounting SSE2, and in its place use a floating point score that doesn't even coincide with real world measurements. Message 17246745 So I don't care what SiSoft Sandra says about Pentium 4 floating point performance. These are real world tests, as opposed to your synthetic ones. Sorry, but you can't weasel your way out of this one. As usual, you are dead wrong, and too stubborn to admit it. wbmw
