Cirruslvr, Re: Which gives a better gain for servers - Fast integer ops. or fast FPU ops.?

I believe it should be integer as typical server tasks require
very little FPU involvement(?)

I guess it would depend on what you were doing. I'm not an expert in this area so I will defer.

Cirruslvr,

Which gives a better gain for servers - Fast integer ops. or fast FPU ops.?

By definition, a server is moving data, which is inherently an integer operation.
