Re: "but I still trust them when it comes to the bottom-line performance figures." Guess we'll have to wait then for them to run some KNI benchmarks. One indication of Anand's lack of clarity on this issue, though, is that he still thinks KNI is double precision. Kevin

Tenchusatsu: <<You can also say that Herr Tom Uberclockermeister, a doctor by trade, lacks understanding of computer architecture, hardware, and software, and therefore makes claims without any facts. Remember how Tom recommended that we all sell Intel stock and buy AMD because of the K7?>> You don't have to have a computer trade degree to understand computer architecture, hardware, and software. Just go to those 2 sites and read their articles. You can tell which one is more knowledgeable. If you can't explain a subject in laymen terms so a beginner can understand then you really don't understand the subject. Tom recommend people to sell Intel stocks because he has gathered sufficient evidences to make his own conclusion. He feels that AMD can deliver the K7 goods in time. He also concludes that K7 is superior to PII, Katmai, and Xeon. Just about every experts including analysts at MR agree with this except for the Intel Buffoons. They are all stubborn idiots. << I still trust them when it comes to the bottom-line performance figures.>> Do you know that you can write benchmarks to show one CPU superior to another? Maxwell
