Elmer: <In 2 tests it [K6-200] was faster, in 2 tests it was not [vs P5-MMX-233]. Plain and simple.> I couldn't agree more. So, with this "consumer-grade" metrics, K6-200 is no worse than P5-MMX-233. <his statement to be true only under certain conditions, and false under other conditions.> Perhaps under his conditions the statement was true. If you want to qualify all conditions, you need to apply more sophisticated methodology and use harmonic weightings reflecting market share of PC with 32 or 64 MB of memory, and W95 vs. NT4. (Please do not count NT3.51 because it is much slower and was not in those benchmarks). Then we probably will argue about how accurate are these market shares, in dollar of unit amount, or else... Endless discussion, as usual with you. Simply put, your response is an awkward attempt to shed a bad light on the good product (K6), and Fuchi's resume that "K6-200 @$160 worths every penny that AMD asks" is indeed true.
