Re: Thought you might like this old article..... Thanks for the post, that is a classic. When we run applications, Athlon is almost never less than 25% faster, per clock than P4, and usually it's 50% faster, per clock - about what you'd expect from a processor that has 50% more execution units. Regards, Dan

Steve, thanks for the article. I especially liked "Kennedy spent most of the 18 months in which he developed the suite essentially working just for the chip maker. Kennedy said he got started with Intel trying to develop a metric that could show the performance advantages of Direct Rambus memories. But once the company started de-emphasizing Rambus he shifted his efforts to helping Intel measure the benefits of its Pentium 4 over the Pentium III." 18 Months is a lot of time to spend trying to figure out how to pretend a Pig can fly. -tgp
