Elmer,

No chance. AMD couldn't even goose one up that high for a demo. Intel could.

How many tricks did Intel pull to get the clock speed up? FPU off?, cache off?, supercooling, etc.?

Intel has a pretty bad track record for cheating on benchmarks and MHz demos.

I am catching up on this thread--have been out in San Fran for a couple of days. Hasn't anyone speculated that the 800 MHz PIII demo is a development .18u chip, whereas the AMD K7 at 600 Mhz is from their ".22u" process?
